Hello doctor,

I am in a situation where my partner of the opposite gender drags me forcibly into the relationship and threatens me to commit suicide. Please help me sort out this situation, doctor.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern. Remember that no one can ever force you or drag you into something you do not want to. Usually, threats come with the fear of something. It is time for you to make the decision. In this situation, I recommend you the following. Try to talk with the person and express your feelings and views about the person. If the problem persists, make it clear that you will not be responsible for anything. I suggest you either block the person or avoid replying. If you keep replying, it gives space to spoil you, and you will be worried and annoyed. Lastly, sit back, think, decide whether you want to quit or like to be threatened by someone, and allow someone to manipulate your emotions and feelings.

Thank you and take care.
