Broke up with my girlfriend. She did not handle it well.

I don’t think this is a situation that will lend itself to remaining friends.

You, my friend, dodged a bullet.

Don’t allow yourself to be manipulated. Resist the urge. The longer you date her, the worse it will be.

If it really went that way—if she killed herself with sleeping pills or some other way—you’d have to see that she was VERY messed up before she started seeing you. It would be tragic, but NOT your fault.

Strongly seconded.

Hey guys, it wasn’t a manipulative thing. She’s had a rough couple of years. Apparently she’s had some pretty traumatic relationships in the past and was really looking forward to this one, and the breakup came as sort of a shock. Nonetheless, any doubts I may have had are cemented by this incident.

You say it wasn’t a manipulative thing, but it is. Whether it’s consciously manipulative or not, I couldn’t say, but somewhere in her head is a little voice that’s telling her if she’s making statements that are extreme enough, you just might come back to “Save” her.

I have to agree with Sierra Indigo. I had an ex who used the same tactic on me.

For your own good, stay away from her.
