He's obsessive, over protective and very controlling. i finally got over it. i ended the relationship- he put himself in hospital for a week. I don't love him, in fact i almost hate him for this, but i'm staying with him to avoid that happening again. He's honestly deluded, he believes he's in love with me. What can i do? I don't want him to try to kill himself again- but he says he won't get help. I can't live like this- it is draining. Please help me! Reply to this Question

Maybe that is the only option, but it is hard as i can't help feeling responsible. But again, thankyou to everyone. I needed to hear that.

 Just leave. He is not your problem to deal with. Chances are he isn't being serious and even if he is its not your problem. I know you care about him as would I if I was in your situation but its best that you just cut contact, just wish him well and then end it completely. Its the only way he'll be pushed to get help or take things far enough so that he realizes he needs help. If you stay he'll never learn and that will be the way things will always be, but now he is young enough to learn the errors of his ways.
I know it will be tough. We're all here to support you through this.
