I'm the only decent thing in her life, she made suicide attempts in the past, and she still says she has to fight her urge to just run down the street, not caring about traffic or anything.I don't know what to do! I feel that if I break it off she will hurt herself.I don't know how to go about this at all and it's killing me. I'm unhappy In the relationship but I feel trapped, like if I leave her she will do something terrible.

i completely agree with kirra07 but i also know that proffessional care is supposed to be scary its not i used to be suicidal n i got help i still have the odd thought but its immediately followed by me think why? if she cut her wrists as a form of suicide n the cuts are across the wrist and fairly shallows its not actually suicide but a safe way to seek good or bad attention

Ultimately, you're responsible for your own happiness, and this relationship isn't bringing you happiness and love, just guilt and responsibility. Her feelings of wanting to hurt herself shouldn't be your responsibility. But anyone would worry about being the cause of someone committing suicide. At this point, I'm not sure that she isn't using it as a way of getting your attention and keeping you focused on her. Either way, if you want to leave, you should be able to leave without guilt tying you down. But to avoid feeling horrible should she do something afterwards, you might want to talk to her family or friends and let them know so that someone can keep an eye on her. Possibly even have her put in professional care if you believe it is a serious threat.
