It’s been over a year since I forgave my partner for mocking the fact that I was SA’d when he was upset at me. I’ve finally gained the strength to leave over this. Any advice about cutting ties? He’s very manipulative & will threaten to harm himself

Idc what anyone says, break up over text. When you're not hearing or facing them its easier not to get manipulated into staying especially because you can block him right after. If he threatens self harm, might sound crazy but tell him you're calling the police or self harm line (bet you he won't do it again if you follow through).

you’re not responsible for his actions or feelings. him saying that was disgusting and it is disrespectful to yourself to waste energy on him. focus on yourself and finding people who support you and understand what you’ve gone through

I’d just call the police on him and tell them that he’s threatening to hurt himself. And then I’d block his ass on everything

Walk away, you don’t owe him anything. Only manipulative people threatened to harm themselves and most of the time they won’t do it anyway. I’d call his bluff and walk and block

If he says he’s going to hurt himself, call 911. He will either be saved or feel stupid when first responders show up with noise and flashing lights in front of the neighbors. From personal experience, shame works. I sent an email to officers about a narcissist’s bad behavior X, and the narcissist found it. They threw a tantrum, lied, gaslit, but never did X again.

And like #1 said, you dont owe him anything, he is an adult and you have zero responsibility over him and his actions

^^ By “officers” I meant “officials”. They were part of an organization that the narcissist was indirectly affiliated with, and they had specific power to limit the bad behavior.
