My boyfriend is going to the military but lowkey has suicidal ideation.
so my boyfriend just gave me the news a few weeks ago about wanting to go to the military and plans to leave in august. He still has to take the real test but passed the practice so I trying to prepare. I wasn’t for it at first I wanted him to look at all his options but he said he had no aspirations. After talking with people I learned the military isn’t the worst thing to join considering the benefits and the discipline.
The problem is his mental. He had this idea of running and going through depression of not feeling good enough. Now he says he doesn’t want me to wait because he wants to be a real soldier as a navy seals because he looking forward to war. Saying his future is death and he chasing it because he doesn’t want to be on this earth anymore. He says he cant kill him self so he tryna find the fastest way to get out of this world and get to God.
I honestly just need advice on what to do. Or what to say. Because Ive been mentally preparing myself and trying to understand his decision thinking he will come back and that this is a stepping stone for his future but in reality he just sees this as a way out of this world.
