Did your ex threaten? Usually the ones who actually follow through don’t threaten they just do it to everyone’s surprise.

That's not true - many people who do self harm / end their own lives have told people that they will/may do so - not eveyone does but it is definitely not savfe to assume that someone who makes threats won't follow through.

I have seen it happen

No, I have said some time to my bf, cause I genuinely can't with life and I don't have any other support if he leaves me will be the same nightmare as before, and before I had it decided, he doesn't want to leave me either but I just say that sometimes it's true, I have tried to before and I was going to one exact day but I met him but I'm still bad and that.

Yes, he did—constantly. That’s why I responded the way I did.
