Every time I try to dump him, he makes me feel so fucking awful. Like he will literally stand outside my house for 3 hours and he tells me if I don't show up, it means that I'm a liar. I used to be in love with him but this man lives in fantasy land and aside from partying we haven't got much in common. Also he has no shame, like literally no shame. He has been 'depressed' for 2 days, i do my fucking best to reach out to him, I stayed up all night on the phone (we don't live together), and then he ditches me at 5 in the morning and tells me he wasn't sleeping and he was just holding his head. We had planned a romantic date at his house but he selfishly went out without telling me and next thing I know, he's calling me from the pub we usually hang out at, and I can hear how drunk he is. And when he's drunk, he spills the beans like a fucking bitch and that makes me so mad.
He just texted that if I love him I should show up at his house ( I can't drive and that's his shtick, emotional blackmail) and that he's 'very close to losing his life'. All this because he's graduating with a third class degree because of the same shitty antics he used to pull every other week instead of studying.
I'm lost, I still have affection for him in my heart but is it fucking worth it, knowing that he's never ever going to stop being a loser.

This is well deep. I think that in reality you've just been answering your own question and are basically looking for justification from an outside party. Honestly if my lover bailed on me when we had confirmed plans to go do something else (especially as menial as the pub say) I would probably high tail it but I do understand that you want this to work and clearly have strong feelings for this person.

That alone is behavior worthy of breaking up,

agreed
desu you should call your local mental health services on him the next time he implies he might kill himself...he can't emotionally blackmail you on 72hr mandatory hospital stay
you can use that time to file a restraining order (start taking evidence now if you can - record your calls etc)

Thank god someone sees that. Sometimes I feel like I'm the bad person because he will text me for hours and I know I can't let him get away with manipulating me.
I broke up with him and I know he will be intent on destroying my life for doing so. Because I 'hurt his feelings'.
