Leaving someone who is mentally unstable...

Ke

My partner and I have been back together (basically) for a few months now and I’m starting to think I made the right choice in the first place by leaving him. We just don’t work. We’re both great individually but were just not meant to be and I can feel it. He struggles with mental health problems, and I am essentially his “saviour” in his eyes. When I called things off last time he completely fell off the wagon. I saw signs of schizophrenia, full blown depression and was worried about him taking his own life at times, and excessive drinking. I’d like to think the second blow would t be as bad for him, but the only thing holding me back from leaving right now is the fact that it could potentially turn out the same as last. I don’t know what to do, I feel torn. I need to leave him and re-create my life and find genuine happiness with myself, but the thought of watching him go through that again makes me sick. Have you left someone with mental health issues? How did you ensure their psychical and mental safety while still taking a step back? 😔
