i would call his family/close friends so that they could be with him. then i would leave--i'm not married or in the situation so i dont know if leave means take a breather, separate or divorce.
I agree with everything everyone so far has said.To the bolded,lmfao!I would make the promise just to hear what he has to say, already knowing that it would be something horrible (he cheated and contracted HIV, he's been having sex with men, he had sex with your mom etc).
He is threatening to hurt himself in order to manipulate her into staying with him. He is being so over-the-top in hopes that her fear of him hurting himself will overshadow her anger - he's going to play this to the hilt to get his way and to avoid repercussions.
I would leave him - no pretending to care about his feelings and entertaining his bs. If (and this is highly unlikely) he kills himself I would feel that he was destructive and probably going to kill himself over some other nonsense eventually.
I had someone break down and cry, say they couldn't go on and threaten to kill himself after he seriously messed up. I hung up, got a snack and watched TV. When he called the next day, I asked him why he was still alive.
I would not be a prisoner to him just because he puts on a show and makes (usually empty) threats.
So true!I have a cousin who went through this and the lady ended up having twins She stayed but please believe that she still hurts to this day. I know I couldn't stay because everytime I hear about that child I would and I wouldn't want to sepnd the rest of my life doing that to my kids or myself.
It's a hurtful situation to stick through and I think his way of making her suffer through a decision is to put his life on the line. Only problem is, why wasn't he punching himself in the head when he was cheating? It was all fun and games but now the pregnancy is too much to handle.
No way would I consider staying.
Please tell her to remember this: If she got pregnant by another man, he would leave her indefinitely. Men are not as forgiving as women and he wouldn't consider putting up with it, unless he's in the minority that will.
but before breaking the news he acts very suicidal and violent towards himself. He won't tell you what it is unless you promise not to leave him because if you do, he may kill himself. So you tell him yes everything will be fine but then he tells you that he got someone else pregnant. What would be your next course of action? No, this is not me just in case yall are wondering, but someone very close and she doesn't know what to do because she's scared he may hurt himself (he's already been punchin himself in da head).
Sounds like he's manipulating her to me.
That's not a fair thing for him to ask of her.
All the punching in the head and suicide threats seem like extra dramatics so she won't leave him.
*sighs*....
let da bytch commit suicide....just tell ur friend to make sure her insurance policie(s) on him are current....
I'd leave. You see cheating nowadays could result in death. Suicide . . . hmph as far as I'm concerned he had unprotected sex which means my life doesn't meet sh!t to him so why should his mean anything to me. Oh and yes he is manipulating her.

I'd call a divorce lawyer and have him served. There is no way that his cheating would be forgiven just because he claimed that he'd hurt himself. He should have thought about that before he cheated.
Insurance companies do not pay out for suicide.
I would save myself! A "suicidal" person could easily become "homicidal." I would call the police and try my best to have him involuntarily committed, so I could leave safely. I might even cheat on him before calling the police and having him committed, with evidence of my infidelity awaiting him whenever he is released. There's no reason I can't avenge myself before leaving. I'm no one's savior and I come first always.So you tell him yes everything will be fine but then he tells you that he got someone else pregnant. What would be your next course of action?

Sounds to me like hes playing this woman. He is saying to himeslf "See...if I at like Imma kill myself then shes'll feel sorry for me. To top it all off I'll act "violent" towards myself to drive the point home. Then I'll drop the bomb on her after I get her to promise not to flip on me when she needs to kick my ***. Yeah.....that'll work."but before breaking the news he acts very suicidal and violent towards himself.
