So i’ve been with my boyfriend for over 6 months but we have been bestfriends for about 3 years. But I am not happy in the relationship anymore and I feel like I’m suffocating forcing myself to stay but I don’t want to ruin our friendship. And he is also knows to crash out and take things over the edge and explode. He will threaten suicide and make it a huge deal so I’m very scared. I want to break up with him but keep our friendship. Any ideas on how to go about breaking up with him? My mental health has been declining and I feel so bad because he doesn’t do anything wrong, in fact he is the best man i’ve been with. I just need to be alone though.

We cannot control others and him threatening to harm himself to hold you into the relationship is wrong.  In the end we need to take care of ourselves first regardless of the issues he is having .  being able to stay friends may or may not work.   But i would question how great of a friend he would be after doing the things he has.
