This might be a sensitive topic but I want to hear your input, i was going through a difficult time and I told my bf I wished I ended mylife, he replied with “but you didn’t, real sxicidal ppl would do it not wish it” I was so angry we had a fight over it and now I feel bad if I overacted??
tw ; s*icide.
tbh, i don't think you overreacted. your boyfriend's perspective on s*icidal ideation is ignorant — there's passive & active ideation, and what you were feeling falls into the "passive" category. that doesn't mean it's less valid or less important, though. i experience passive ideation on a regular basis myself.
needless to say, what your boyfriend said was pretty insensitive. instead of comforting you, he basically said, "well, just do it then if you're so serious about it." which is horrifying. i don't blame you at all for getting upset and angry.
