What is your personal opinion on the topic of suicide in the context of this situation?

So there was this male social media influencer who young women loved because he was attractive. To make a long story short, the guy had mental issues. He had a girlfriend who he was abusive toward in many ways. Most recently, it came out that he killed himself and the story got deeper when the girlfriend came out and made a video about how he killed himself while on the phone with her. She said he killed himself to hurt her. Which I do believe. Some people are that mentally ill/sick. She was heavily crying in the video but she still spoke through her tears on the history of their relationship and how traumatizing it was because of his abuse. Now although I understand what he did to intentionally damage her mentally and though I realize what she’s gonna have to fight through to ever get back to herself after such a tragic incident, I find it kind of odd that most people on social media are making it 100% about her. From the reason he killed himself to just the tragedy of it all. When, although I believe he was everything she said he was, at the same time he’s the one who took his life. He’s the one who chose a dark route. It have been deeper than him killing himself just to hurt her. That was more than likely a major part of it but it’s more to it and even though his family and his mother has to plan a funeral and endure the pain of what unexpectedly happen people are still just solely focused on the woman and worried about how she’s gonna get through what he put her through in those last moments of his life. I get it but I think it’s selfish to call him selfish even though what he did had selfish intentions, at the end of the day, he‘s gone. Not because someone murdered him or because he got into an accident, he literally killed himself while someone was on the phone. That’s not normal. The problem was deeper than her.

This is a really heavy situation. I get where you're coming from—when someone takes their own life, it's not usually as simple as one thing. There’s probably a lot more going on beneath the surface. Yeah, it’s messed up that he might’ve done it partly to hurt her, but at the end of the day, dude was struggling hard mentally, and that can cloud your judgment in ways we might never understand. It’s tragic for both sides, but it’s true, the focus should be more balanced. His family’s going through hell, and that doesn’t just disappear because of what he did in his relationship. Both sides deserve sympathy, and it’s deeper than just one person’s pain.

Was this that cosplayer dude from last year? It sounds like the same story, but could just be a common theme. Tragedy. I wish dudes would just ghost abusive women, instead of suiciding...

What kind of bastard makes their girlfriend watch their suicide? The guy was a psycho narcissist piece of shit. I have no sympathy for somebody who intentionally tortures another person. Good riddance.
