Kara,

NOT HEALTHY!  Actions of manipulation: Suicide threats, gifts, money, trying to buy your affection, declaration of love, saying he cannot live without you and cannot love anyone ever again, talking both sides of his mouth: don’t worry about me/I cannot sleep or eat because of you, being involved with your boy.

Bless him and stop contact with him.  He won’t let go.  He does not know how to be “just friends.”

You had it right the first time when you parted ways.  He was great for your transition but now you need to stand on your own two feet emotionally and with yourself.
