What would you do if during an argument, someone says they want to K*** themselves?
To give more background I recently said this in my last argument with my husband. I know that was not an okay thing to say the way I did, but I didn't do it to manipulate him in any way. Things haven't been the best between us since having a kid and because of past experiences I haven't felt safe talking about suicidal thoughts when I have them. I've been feeling a lot of emotional neglect from my partner and am "not allowed" to go to therapy to talk about these difficult emotions. So I kinda just blew up. I know he isn't always in the completely in the wrong when we fight, but I always end up leaving those arguments or conversations feeling like a crappy wife. Which has also been contributing to my dark thoughts.

What do you mean you are not allowed to go to therapy to talk about these feelings?

You're not allowed therapy??? He doesn't sound like a good husband to me
He doesn't agree with therapy. He thinks that therapists are just people you pay to be your friend and that I should come to him about everything.

Mmm sounds like an unhealthy environment for you, therapy is very beneficial and if you are are saying those things he should be taking them more serious and trying to get you the help you need. He doesn’t have to do it himself if he doesn’t believe in it but he shouldn’t stop you from trying things for your mental health
