Q: Boyfriend Cheated on me then Hurt himself

I've been seeing my bf for about 6 months and in those six months we live together and are around each other 24/7. Last week he set up sex with a guy he used to have sex with before we met. He attempted to break up with me last friday saying i was too controling, but when i called him out on setting up sex he apologized and said he was sorry. I told him I'd leave and it was over if he ever cheated. On tuesday he cheated. I went over to his place to grab all my things and end the relationship. He refused to go to work for 3 days without calling and could have potentially got himself fired. He said he was sorry and that he needed a second chance, i told him no, and he wouldn't allow me to leave. Finally he hurt himself and we ended up in the hospital all day. I love him very much and want to be there for him as a friend, but i'm not sure what i should do. He needed professional help is now getting it, but when i talk to him he still wants me to be there for him in the form of a relationship when he gets out. I know i cannot do that, but i'm not sure if i want to tell him yet. I want him to get better, but he cannot do it with me. What the heck should i do? Why would he cheat on me dilberatley set it up and then attempt to break up with me...and then when i end it for that reason attempt to hurt himself if i don't stay in a relationship with him? I'm completely confused

Stick to your decision. He is trying to manipulate you. Harsh but true. He wants what he wants and will do what it takes for him to get it. The fact that he hurts himself to get it is an illness. You say he is in treatment now which is great and a good time for you to feel you can safely walk away and help will be there for him to cope. Staying on as his friend...well, that just gives him the tools to continue with his manipulation. As much as it may hurt it's the best thing for you and him in the long run even if he doesn't see it now.

Manipulation - plain and simple.

I would walk away from it all. Cut ties with him. You do not need that baggage in your life.
