Be aware of your partners mental health

If your partner is not of sound mental health, you need to be cautious. Your partner threatening suicide should never be a reason for you to not convey your decision and remain in the relationship, instead you need to handle it differently. If your partner has a history of self harm or suicidal attempts, you MUST first inform a responsible family member or friend of your partner about your decision to break-up. This is a decision that can trigger an emotional reaction and it will help to have someone responsible taking care of your partner. Informing someone will also keep you safe should the unthinkable happen.
