Leaving spouse to pursue travel

>>1233081
Don't know what to tell you, OP. She sounds like a psycho to me.
Can't you travel with her instead of alone? That seems to be the solution.

>>1233082
I don't want to go with her, i want to go alone. I guess I'm just at a loss for how to approach this situation. I don't know how to talk to her about this without her loosing it.

>>1233084
Then go somewhere alone for a week or so (not too long). See how she takes it.

Get her on meds and report her to some authorities on the matter. Suicide prevention hotlines or similar. And go live your life.

This right here. Even in the US there's no need to treat mental illness as if it's a gypsy curse dooming someone for eternity. Find out what the local mental health emergency response protocol is for your local area (i.e. visit mentalhealth.gov), and if she acts in a violent and unstable way again, contact them immediately. She'll be assessed and given treatment. Then you will be able to go fuck Thai ladyboys without feeling guilty...

This!

I still remember one of my uncle's long term girlfriends... She kept on threatening him with suicide, he left her anyway, she overdosed herself on some prescription drugs. I mean, even like this, I don't think her suicide is anyone's fault, but would have been better if she got mental care obviously.

Don't give in to the threats, but get someone else to help her.

This is more /adv/ than /trv/ I guess.

I broke up with people over travel before actually. It's one of my biggest hobbies, so if someone tells me to stop it, obviously I won't stay in a relationship with them.

Sounds very familiar. Years ago I was in a relationship with an extremely pretty bipolar artist type. While I was with her I always felt guilty of my own things, aspirations and plans for life. Because she manipulated me into that kind of thinking. Easy perhaps for any woman but bipolar seem to have special talent for that. Irrational behaviour makes you ask yourself what did I do? In the end you're just her enemy who she likes to keep close so she don't have to blame herself for anything. The devil she knows. And maybe the feeling is mutual. You are not hurting her, she is doing it on her own and just blaming you.
Obviously you need to leave her. Do it while you still have some backbone. If you still have. She wont be destroyed, she'll be fine. She'll find another guy in a week and completely forgets you.
Tricky thing is to get away with your belongings and without legal ties. If you leave even a tiny part of your life in her hands it might come and haunt you worse than you can imagine. Change your emails, new passwords for everything. Mailing, keys, any important piece of paper must be in your control. You can't do it too carefully with a bipolar woman. If you know her family or friends you could try and toss the burden on their shoulders in some casual way. Maybe paint yourself as a victim. Claim to have a breakdown and start to drink. Say you need some time for yourself. That's what women always say when they are going for good. Don't mention any bright future travelling plans. Just go.

I'd suggest you go to Thailand but it's up to you. Thailand is ideal for a man in your situation.

You need to start the process today, while you still can. Save yourself. Live your life.

Ditch the bitch and her laundry list of problems. If you're even thinking about going without her, then there's your answer.

Well man, what can i tell you, i've been with my gf for a year, and now i just moved to another country because our relationship was going to hell, now things are starting to recover, with the distance and everything i'm a little bit more positive about life, and she's seeing how much important i was for her and how she fucked everything up but not taking care enough about my happiness.
I'm pretty sure you should do whatever makes you happy, if she loves you, she should be happy that you're doing fine. If you don't follow your dreams because of somebody else you're just making yourself miserable, and therefore that person will leave you or you will leave her sooner or later.

>I've been in an off and on relationship
Off the relationship. If your SO threatens to harm herself there's a deeper issue that you're not going to be able to fix, because you're likely (I'm assuming, you might be a therapist) not her therapist and just her boyfriend. Unless you are married as you said in the title, in which case you fucked up.

Sad story OP, all I can say it's that probably staying together is not the better option here
