In between his mom got sick and went abroad to get a treatment for his mom, since we were on bad terms i wanted to give the relationship a break i changed my phone and stayed no contact for a month and sth. Then i sent him an email together with a night gown and a towl to his mom, on the email i talked about our dreams, the sweet moments we used to spent and he can contact me if he believes in us, if he still loves me with in a week but if he is not intrested to ignore me so that i will move on, at the end of the week he emailed me telling me his current condition(family and economy crisis)w/c is true btw are shutering off his vision in life so he doesn`t want a relationship, he also put so many things that i did in the past.By the time i got the email i just said my self he really needs to work out things, if it was not the case he wouldn`t email me.

reader, anonymous, writes (3 December 2009): In all honestly, I really think you two need some serious time apart. The fact that he has threatened to kill himself if you ever split up is testimony to his state of mind. It also reflects that he has very little esteem or self respect if he's willing to do such and he probably doesn't love himself too dearly.
Remember the old saying "You have to love yourself before you can love someone else"? How can you ever love someone else if you're busy focusing on how much you hate yourself or how horrible your situation is? You can't.
He needs time to get his head on straight and find a better place or he'll never be able to provide you with what you need and vice versa.
Also, the fact that you guys keep pointing out all of the negative things you did to one another is a really bad sign. If you love someone, you simply don't do that unless it's in an attempt to resolve them.
I don't think you love one another as you say. I think you're just desperately attached to one another.
Talk to the man IN PERSON. Cut the texting and email crap because if you care enough about it to discuss, at least show some respect and do it in person. It may be exceptionally difficult, but you really need to meet with him and explain to him that you are concerned for his mental well being. The guy sounds like he really needs psychiatric help - help him find it if necessary. Explain that you care for him, but until he figures himself out and can think clearly, it's probably best to not be in a relationship for both of your sake. it'll make him stronger and it's something he really needs to do.
