Contracting gig in the 90’s with one of my best regular clients at the time. Printer issue. Works fine for about half the company, is about 80% for everyone else. Ad agency. Their main color printer. Kind of a big deal. 3 DAYS at roughly $100/hr plus a 90 minute rush hour commute.

…it was a dip switch. “Click. Problem solved.” I basically refused to bill them for $2000 of my time out of shame.

My ex had psychosis, she spent 3 months in hospital for it. She did remember, but when it happens there is nothing you can do. We broke up because of other reasons, but she always took her meds after this happened 15 years ago. She never had it again. It was the scariest thing that ever happened in my life.

That’s traumatizing. Not sure if there’s anything you can do. To him, you said you saw your future with him but from your actions you didn’t. I can’t imagine finding out your SO tried to end their own life while you weren’t there to stop them.

He’s breaking up with you because you’re unstable and he most likely can’t take someone messing around with his heart like that. He’s protecting himself by distancing from you.

Get the help you need and give him time. You could try to rekindle the relationship in a few months or years but I don’t know if it’s possible.
