suicidal ex & falling out of love + guilt

You are speaking as if staying a relationship when you have emotionally checked out is actually helping your partner. I'm not sure if it is. As someone who was dumped while in a suicidal phase, I can say it didn't actually make me worse. I was able to stop trying to fix the relationship, stop trying to pretend to be ok and just do what I needed to to do to survive. I am sure that your partner wouldn't be able to see splitting up as potentially positive right now but so long as you are kind and firm in how you go about things, he may well thank you in the long run.

What am really saying is this- I know you care about about him and want him to do well but staying in relationship that you no longer really want is more likely to hurt both of you.
