If you were planning to end a romantic relationship, and the person threatened suicide if you left them, how would you handle it?

With someone like that, I would say cut off contact after the situation has ended. They are unbalanced, and more than willing to hoist blame and guilt onto others.

The times that I have run across this situation, I have tried various things. I called the suicide hotline number and got their advice once. They told me that I should try to convince the person to call them directly, so that they could talk them out of it. I have also thought of trying to talk someone into going to the ER for help. But the reality is, you can never force someone to do something that they don't want to, and the majority of the time, a person making these kinds of threats is doing it not because they really are depressed and feeling suicidal, but in order to be manipulative and get you to do what they want you to do. That is controlling behavior!
The best advice I had in this situation came from a friend, after I had tried everything, even going back to that person three times only for them to continue to do the same thing every time I told them it was over. His advice to me was simple but worth it: Do nothing.
That's it. Do nothing, say nothing, walk away. I know that it is a lot harder to do sometimes in real life, but trust me, it is worth it.

What he's doing is emotional blackmail and abusive. He cannot hold you in a relationship under threat, even if the threat is personal harm. If he means it, then he needs to go to the emergency room right away. Suicide threats are nothing to scoff off, and you will always regret it if something happens to him after you hesitated taking him to the ER.
If he's bluffing, then this is a reality check that you can't be threatened. It's over.
Once you take him to the ER, don't see him for a few weeks at least. He needs to adjust to a life that doesn't have you in it. Don't cave, please. Or he's got you.

So, in your situation you may know that he will commit suicide, but you do not intend for him to kill himself. Philisophically speaking, you are not doing a wrong act.
...and the guy is holding you emotionally hostage... and using emotional blackmail...
He needs serious help! Get a good therapist!

The problem is you never know how serious a person is who threatens suicide. I don't think I would stay with them over the threat but don't know for sure as I am not in the situation.
