Question

what do i do whenever me and my spouse have a disagreement she threatens to kill herself.emotionally i feel drained.is there any good advise?

Answer 1

You need to take her to the hospital for psychiatric intervention. Suicide threats (real or attention seeking) should be taken seriously. Either way she needs to learn new coping skills.

Answer 2

She needs HELP! You can have her committed for a minimum 3 days for a Psychiatric assessment. Or, even if she threatens suicide, you can call the police and they (the Mental Facility/Hospital) will hold her for the 3 days and longer if they deem she is unstable and a threat to herself or anyone else.

She may be doing this to hold you emotionally hostage, but, if she is,......call her bluff and have her admitted for the minimum 3 days.

You don't need to take this, and she needs HELP..........NOW!!!

You need a break and she needs help. If any of her threats are the slightest bit serious, don't take a chance. She may do just what she is threatening to do. You don't need that on your conscience either.

Bottom line is she needs help, and suicide, homicide threats require IMMEDIATE action. Don't mess around. Get her the help she needs, and when stabilized, you can be there for her and go through therapy and counseling with and for her.

Don't try to handle or deal with this on your own. Get her admitted.

You also need to get some support from family, friends, or others also. Once she's in, find some solace, and seek clergy if you are religious or if not, do so if you are a believer.

You both need to get some help, as this is no way to live. Do it right and proper. They are tough decisions, but, they are wise and needed decisions.

I wish you my best and peace for both you and your wife!

Answer 3

If your wife is threatening to kill herself, she needs help. On the other hand, she could be screaming for attention but you will not know that until she gets the help. By you staying with her, that is co-dependency and it is not fair to you. If you want to continue with this marriage, talk to her about seeing a marriage counselor or psychiatrist. I would advise that you do it with her so that everything can be laid on the table. As long as she agrees and is receptive everything will come out. Maybe she is dealing with some issues from her childhood that she hasn't handled. Could be some anger or resentment. Whatevey you do, mak it fast!! Hope all goes well. One more thing, let her know what that is doing to you.

Answer 4

Actually, my ex husband did the same thing. I was young and he was studying psychology. He did that very same thing every time we had a argument or fight. After a while I got used to it and just said do it.(That helped him stop that). But honestly she needs help. Depression is a very dangerous disease and just let her know how you feel. Usually when a person threatens to kill herself deep down,they are just asking for help.

Answer 5

You need to get her some serious help at a facility for some sort before she carry thru with her threat or hurt you in the process as well.

Answer 6

Call her bluff and tell her to go ahead and make things easy on herself. If you keep falling for that routine every time then she will keep using it to win the disagreement.

Answer 7

when she threatens, call 911 and tell them she has just threatened suicide. i'm pretty sure they have to come. if she meant it,she'll get some help. if she didn't, she'll think twice before making empty threats again.

Answer 8

Tell her to do it. seriously my ex used to do it an dfinally I called him on it, and guess what? He didn't do it and stopped saying he would. She just wants your sympathy and attention. I would still try to talk her into seeing a doctor though.

Answer 9

have her commited

it is obvious that she may pose a danger to herself and therefore should be protected from herself
