My partner says he owes his life to his parents and says when they die he will have no reason to continue living.

What should I do? I feel so useless and uninportant to my partner.

That seems like a very un-thoughtout idea. His parents gave him life so he could live it. If he takes his own life after they’ve passed on what good is all the love and energy they put into him? He should try to make a difference to show everyone everything his parents had done for him.

yeah i’d feel pretty unloved if my husband said that to me! :O He must be in a phase where he can’t see what’s good in his life. Does he suffer from depression and need to see a doc?
