Gay lovers' tiff prompts suicide

[Jadin32]

I read this post and It really hit home because a man who I had dated did the same thing. Except he was in his mid thirties.
In July of '95 I had a date with Jeff on a Friday. We got along really well and I stayed the night with him.We didn't have sex but he held me In his arms all nite...very sweet...uncomfortable...but sweet!
We both agreed we liked each other and made plans to go out the next weekend. On Monday I had a date with Michael but was going to cancel because I liked Jeff.
I called Jeff on Sunday but his room mate said he was at work so I just told her to tell him I called. By Monday afternoon he still hadn't called so I went on the date with Michael who we immediately fell in love and is now my husband of 11 years!

ANYWAY....a few years after Jeff and I had our date he started seeing this guy who he ended up even buying a house with. The guy broke up with him for whatever reason.
Jeff then wrote a suicide note saying he couldn't live without him and went into the garage and turned on the car causing his death of carbon monoxide.

It really shocked me when I heard the news because he was a really sweet guy. Not too long after he killed himself I found out through a mutual friend that Jeff confided in her that he really liked me but his room mate never told him I called!

No matter what age, what sexuality, suicide Is a VERY terrible and sad way to end your life!

I'm sorry that this boy felt that his life was over (literally) because some asshole left him.

That's not necessarily fair-- we don't know that his ex was an asshole. I mean, it's a tragic story that this man has killed himself, but I'd hardly lay any blame on his ex or make any assumptions about his character. He could be taking this incredibly hard himself.
Had this ex physically or emotionally abused this man to the point of suicide-- then it's a different story. But no one should be made to feel responsible for someone else's suicide-- and no one should ever have to fear breaking-up with someone they no longer wish to be with.

BUt I konw one thing from the above remark PreTTy PeTe is at least
45 YEARS old

Probably
50 + YEARS old

Pretty???????

as for this, while yes, PeTe's remarks were callous, your comment that his age determines whether or not he's 'pretty' is just as cruel to anyone of that age group. I'm sorry, but I have met many beautiful men and women who are older than the commercialized 20-30s.

That being said-- while I believe that we all have the right to end our lives if we so wish, and I do believe that it was sad that he chose to do so for something so seemingly trivial, I consider his act incredibly pathetic and selfish. Can you imagine the trama that he has thoughtlessly caused others? The person who had to discover him? His parents who have to bury him? What if he had siblings, friends or others who may have looked to him as a role model or support of their own? People seem to stupidly forget all the other people affected by their actions, wrapped up in their own little world. Yes, I'm being cold. But damn, that boy needed some perspective. His boyfriend dumped him? He should've talked to someone who lost their partner to sickness or tragic accident. Gosh, have him read some news and learn of people who lose their loved ones because they're being bombed. How pathetic of him. Yeah, his is a sad story and I feel for his family-- but he's the one who's caused their pain.
