Should I break up with my gf before committing su!c!de?

This comment sucks. "You shouldn't kill because of your wife". Guess what? This person is already postponing their own suicide to wrap up their business, telling them to live for someone else (and, no, that's pretty much the crux of the post - the should get professional help for the sake of the woman that loves them) won't help since they already see themselves commiting suicide despite the five years of their relationship.

The problems run deeper than their relationship and we have zero idea what they are. OP should get professional help and talk to someone about this, his relationship is entirely secondary in all of this. Relationship is no life preserver. We don't know, for example, if they have health problems that cause them to feel miserable. There are people who have health problems who kill themselves, not because of their relstionship, but simply because they can't live like that.

There is simply not enough information to play this half-arsed armchair internet and to simply presume that relationship is the answer to all their problems is ignorant, especially when it doesn't seem to be about this one relationship. There needs to be a proper look outside of just this one relationship and more internal look into the OP and their own issues.
