Hi Teni
Unfortunately, threatening to kill themselves if you break up with them is called emotional abuse. Controlling when you sleep is also abusive. As is getting mad etc if you don’t reply to texts while you’re asleep.
No contact after a break up can be a good idea to avoid being guilted into returning.
I think that you’ve said it all when you said that you want to end the relationship. Have they previously attempted suicide or self-harmed?
It isn’t your responsibility if someone hurts themselves. They are responsible for their own actions and choices. If they have difficulties with their emotions they can see a doctor. Help is out there, it doesn’t have to be you that helps them.
It sounds like to me these things are being said to prevent you from leaving. I had an ex that tried that. Blocking hin everywhere was very helpful after the break up. He didn’t kill himself.
Love and best wishes! ❤️🙏
