Did I do right by reaching out to my ex that is suicidals family?

[Anonymous]

Was I wrong?

[rosemilk]

not wrong. his family deserves to know, especially if he's thinking about putting himself in danger like that. i hope he gets the help that he needs

Turns out, he’s been going to therapy which I was unaware about. He lacked such big communication in our relationship, so I’m quite happy he is actually getting help because he was never communicating to me he was getting help. At least I can sit in peace that if he does end it, none of it can be my fault.

damn, that's such a big life event to not tell your partner that you have been going to therapy. well i'm glad he at least is getting help and not denying the help he truly needs

No you did the right thing

[ChicoFromThe305]

What made you reach out?

[Asker]

He has been telling me for a week that he is suicidal, we broke up because he thought he was a burden to me personally and I don’t want him being alone in his thoughts. I don’t know if his family understands to the extent of how suicidal he seems/is

[ChicoFromThe305]

Then you did the right thing by not ignoring possible signs

Yeah good job
