[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Haven't read the whole thread but sounds like DH is sabotaging your career

He's fine.[/quote]

Wow, you're able to diagnose a person who claims he's suicidal, without even meeting him? You are truly a miraculous mental health professional, PP!

:roll:

Even if he IS faking or playing her, SHE cannot know that for sure. And the results, if you are wrong about his being "fine," are way too serious to risk. [b]OP has to take him at face value for right now or risk having to explain to her kids why dad isn't ever coming home, an[/b]d OP would have to deal with the guilt of not taking him seriously, if he does harm himself.

I have no idea if he's just manipulating her--he might be-- but neither do you or anyone here. That's not our call. It's not even really OP's call. It's a medical professional's call. [/quote]

This is garbage. OP is not, in any way, responsible if her adult spouse makes the decision to kill himself. The idea that she should blame herself, and that she is responsible to her children for the behavior of her husband, is beyond regressive.

If she sits home staring at her husband and she goes to the bathroom, and he kills himself, doesn’t she still have to tell her children? Or does the good wife fairy come and tell them for her?[/quote]

Hilarious and stupid that you're calling it garbage, yet a mental health professional posting above you says it's spot on.

Which of you should OP trust for advice, I wonder?

No one said OP was actually "responsible" if he kills himself. I only said that she will have to deal with her own feelings and their kids' reactions if he does. If you think that people do not feel guilty after someone's suicide--even when they themselves could never have prevented it  and didn't cause it -- you truly know nothing about suicide or how profoundly it affects those left behind.
