Taboo, I understand your situation. I am currently in a relationship with someone very much like that. Who also made the same threat at one time. But in my situation, I was going to break up with him. The truth is I've never had the courage to get him the help he needs. I did once succeed in getting him to a therapist but the therapist was not very good and didn't really listen to him. The therapy has kind of fallen by the wayside, unfortunately. Since then, most of the time, things are good. But I never really know when he's going to have a mood swing. Sometimes I dread coming home. He also throws around wild accusations on occasion and has a pretty violen temper where he throws things. Anyways, that's besides the point.
The point is, as the previous ladies mentioned, you can't fix him. He has to fix himself. I've been in my relationship with this man for five years. I can honestly say, as much as I love him, it wasn't worth the trouble. I wouldn't go through most of the hard times we went through ever again. I find, as I get older, that my patience is wearing very thin and that I am no longer willing to take a lot of the crap he throws at me. Now I call him out on it every time. I'm not sure how much longer we'll last. But I do love him a great deal. Probably alway will. But like that song says, sometimes love just ain't enough.
