I’ve been with him for a little over a year now . Our entire relationship has been turbulent. We seem to always fight over little things. I have a 10 year old daughter and a 2 year old son both are mine , I’m also pregnant with my now boyfriends baby. I don’t want to raise my kids in a house hold were there’s fighting all the time … when I say that he’s always like “so you’re breaking up with me” then threatens to unalive himself. He takes my keys when we fight so I can’t leave . I honestly just like to go for drives when I’m upset to calm myself down. It’s just not working anymore. The only thing is , I’m honestly a little afraid to leave him for one because I’m like completely dependent on him , because he’s made it to were I can be a stay at home mom . Which has been great , until i realized I’m completely stuck… for a the second reason , he threatens to no longer want to live if I leave him .. I’ve had one person very close to me do this so I take that seriously. I need advice of any kind please. Also please be nice . **this was posted multiple times because I thought the mods were deleting them because my title was wrong.

Threatening suicide is next level manipulation. So he’s willing to resort to that but addressing the issues and instituting change is out of the question? And there’s little that I would find “great” about being a SAHM if that comes with shackles. All this and you let him put a child in you? Just ugh. Your job here is to protect your kids ASAP. Raising them in this environment is unfair to them. The longer they are exposed , the more permanent the damage. You need to seek out an alternative with family, a friend, anyone. For any future with him I’d require him to enter both individual and couples therapy and get him to quit whatever substances are contributing to the issues. If he’s serious about suicide, there’s nothing you can do to stop him.
