I can't bear to think I would be the reason for this! He never had anything to help him last time, his mate just found him 'in time' He won't go for any help so suggesting that will be no use to me!

You do have to do what's right for you and you are not responsible for someone elses mental instability. It would be much worse for him if her knew you had someone else already so since you seem sensitive to his problem, I would suggest you finish with him as soon as possible but maybe cool off with the new boyfriend for a week or so, or at least not be seen in circles your old boyfriend may see you as that would be rubbing salt into his wounds. If he does do anything stupid, then you will feel bad, but you cannot stay with him just because of his feelings. Just be thoughtful and considerate in how you let him go.
