Quote:I'm going to assume that you have never done any research on suicide. The idea that a 38 year old is immune to mental abuse is incredibly ignorant, but I expect nothing less from you.

 

"In 2010, the highest suicide rate (18.6) was among people 45 to 64 years old. The second highest rate (17.6) occurred in those 85 years and older. Younger groups have had consistently lower suicide rates than middle-aged and older adults. In 2010, adolescents and young adults aged 15 to 24 had a suicide rate of 10.5." source: <a class="bbc_url" href='http://www.afsp.org/understanding-suicide/facts-and-figures'>http://www.afsp.org/understanding-suicide/facts-and-figures</a>

 

There aren't many facts in this story, and so I think making assumptions is wrong, but one fact is that she was degrading him. She called him a skinflint and a Christmas hater. Degrading is, in fact, mental abuse and has the potential to drive somebody to depression / suicide.

 

 

None of us are saying that the shopping or the mall is what drove the man to kill himself. We are saying that the stressful situation along with the degrading were factors. Again, we aren't saying that the woman is to blame for the death, we are simply saying that she was one of the factors.

 

 

Would you be such an apologist if it was a man mentally abusing a female?

God y'all are giving me a headache with this. Why is this so hard to understand??



Whatever reasons were behind why he did it, he chose to deal with it by killing himself.






Yeah...I only feel this way because she has a va jay jay! Wonder how many on here wouldn't have called him "a stresser" if she had been the one to kill herself after he argued with her about her shopping...
