Answers for "threatening suicide"  (2) (You must be logged in to answer)
My ex did the same thing.  My therapist recommending researching some 800 numbers to offer him when he starts saying it.  Also, you can call the police and have him 51/50'd.  If he has family you can call I would also let them know what's going on.  My ex took drastic measures and ended up very suicidal, threatening me and our youngest son.  He ended up getting arrested and is in some very serious legal trouble now.  Don't panic, but do what you can to get him some help ASAP.  Good luck.

Anyone who would do this to another person is very desperate.  He must be at his wits end and cannot think of any other way to get you to come back.  But that's not fair to you.  I'd suggest seeking some counseling, for both you and him.  I am sure that, when his head clears, he will be OK. I doubt he'd want you to come back to him in that way, since it would be just out of worry/guilt.  Good luck with everything.
