I broke up with a boy I really like and he likes me back, but I'm dating someone else who is suicidal. I'm scared to leave this person, in fear of them hurting themselves or worse. My ex and I both want back together. I was being super dumb. Does anyone have any advice?

Hello. Girl here. Being suicidal means that you have a mental disorder that makes it more likely for you to want to kill yourself, not that you go kill yourself every time something goes wrong. Tell this boy the truth. You can still be there for him as a friend. A little guilt-tripping never hurts; you can ask him not hurt to hurt himself and tell him you'd feel terrible if he would. In my opinion, it's worse to be dated by someone who doesn't like you because of a disorder you have than to be broken up with by someone because they can't do that to you. You have to follow your heart, and if something does happen, it's not your fault. Ask any counselor, that's not how it works. Good luck.
