1/2
I've been spineless for far too long. My girlfriend isn't mentally healthy.
TL;DR I don't want to see her again. I'm breaking up over text and blocking her. How do I best go about this without triggering a possible stalking?
BODY
Ever since I committed to her in February, my life has been hell. At least twice a week, major drama happens. She will yell and taunt me to her best attempt. I will respond calmly.
This never works. She does not respond or understand a single thing I'm telling her.
Two months ago we had a fight, again. I told her I wanted to be alone and she left my apartment. I go for a bike ride to clear my mind. As I'm heading home, she starts blowing up my phone. Apparently she is outside my apartment door and she won't leave until I talk to her face to face. She won't leave and I have to sleep at a friends place. She finally leaves after four hours.
After this I tell her she needs to see a psychologist, if we are to stay together. She does and after two weeks we start seeing each other again.
However the drama continues.
I decide to spend my birthday, three weeks ago, at my parents house, in the countryside. This does not please her and another fight breaks out. When I get back, I'm assuming she is normal again. I visit her. She starts berating me for how I've treated her on my birthday. I want to leave, I ask her to let my bike out of the shed in the yard in front of her apartment (a dedicated shed for everyone's bikes with a lock on the door). She keeps my bike hostage until she gets her way.
Last week we went out for a walk and a fight breaks out. I left my things, including my apartment keys, at her apartment. I want to leave and I want to return to her apartment to get my things. She refuses and keeps my things hostage until she gets her way.
She is clearly fucking crazy. Last night we had another fight and she threatened to commit suicide. I had to calm her down over the phone for 2.5 hours, saying whatever she wanted to hear.

I guess this was my wake up call and now I def. want out.
Over the past three weeks, I made sure we don't have any belongings at each others apartments. I still have the key for her apartment though, but that's it.
Today I have been ignoring her and planning how to end this relationship. I don't think she is stable enough to handle me breaking up with her face to face. I don't want to see her again.
Now my question is: How do I break up with her and minimize the risk of backlash/stalking from her?
My plan thus far:
Drop her key in her mailbox.
Go home and shop food for several days.
Text her "Hi. I don't want to be in a relationship with you anymore. Our relationship doesn't work. My decision is final and I don't want you contacting or reaching out to me in any way. I won't respond. I have left your key in your mailbox."
Then proceed to block her wherever she is able to contact me.
Now I'm thinking about checking what she has written to me on messenger, before blocking her.
I don't think this is a good idea either, I can't allow myself to be manipulated to stay together with someone who threatened suicide to command me.

Just do it. You'll thank yourself later.
I would add more of an explanation to the message. Mention how she always yells at you, and so on, just like you told us. Otherwise, sounds like a solid plan.

Do you think this is to give her closure, or give myself closure?

Not that guy, but both? If I was being dumped, I'd at least like an honest answer. Not scalding, just honest. Unless you can avoid bumping into her, this drama might erupt later on if she feels "unresolved".

Got it. I wrote down a lot more when I texted her. She has called me 30 times and tried from three different numbers now.

holy fucking shit

This is quite normal for her. When she besieged my apartment few months back, I got 70 calls and 40 texts in the span of 4-5 hours.
>>18535366
You needed to do this WAAAAAAAYYYYY sooner.
>>18535366
Whoa
>>18535366
K...keep me posted
>>18535391
I think I finally got truecaller set up correctly and it blocks everything without notifying me.
Still nothing at my door though.
I still feel terrible for ending it like this.

You did what needed to be done. It's normal to feel bad, but both you and her would be worse off together.
Talk in person.
>finally decide to break up
>tell her we should meet up after work at her place
>show up
>she knew what was happening
>had a note wrote out for me to read before I came in
>trying to apologize for being a cheating whore, and how she wishes things weren't this way
>i read it before I knock
>finally knock
>have a few of her important personal belongings with me
>we talk
>tell her I'm not happy, it's not working out, I wish it wasn't this way just the same.
>crying, some fighting, it really was heartbreaking for both ends.
>We hug before I leave
>We keep our texts professional for the next two days to organize a time for her to gather her things from my house while I'm not there
>she takes entirely too long getting her shit, literally hours
>I think she wanted to see me one last time.
>She tells me she left
>I drive home and play video games all night stress free
It really did, and still kind of does suck.
But, really we'd be white picket fences with a baby on the way by now if she hadn't cheated on me.
I was all about her, 100% dedicated and loved the fuck out of her.. We both had good jobs, made middle wage salaries, and were talking about early retirement.
