my (26f) bf (21m) lied to me yesterday about some dumb stuff. his friend’s age. he got upset and he pulled his shooty thing out, and pointed it under his chin and said “i would rather die than lie to you again” and he said he did that so i knew he was serious.
i thought he was a normal regular person but i don’t think so. i know someone else in his family did something similar. he didn’t say he was going to kill himself or that he wanted to kill himself. he said he’d rather die than lie to me again and that he won’t do it again.
i told him he needs therapy but he suggested he go to a psychiatrist and perhaps an inpatient treatment. i dont know what to do. i love him so much. he has been so good to me, so gentle so kind. then this. he really went off the rails :(
listen. he has been so good to me. so kind. he’s so good to everyone so i know he wouldnt hurt me. i can see the kindness in his eyes and heart. but, it shatters me that he doesn’t like himself.
he told me he did this because i told him to prove to me that he was sorry for lying. he said he did it because he was desperate and that he wanted to show his sincerity of him willing to die before lying to me again.
From my side, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified That’s just how it reads to me. That’s the impression it gives me.
Looking at this, this feels more about execution than intent which explains why reactions are split
