If your spouse has refused to go for suicide therapy after:?!
Question: 1) she has tried to commit once but unsucessful
2) the counseller suggest she should go for one & give us the number
3) she said it is just a one-time-thing
Very last, just one stupid question. If one has commit unsuccesfful suicide, is it 100% neccessity for one to go for a suicide therapy? (or it is just a one-time incident?)
What should I do? Currently, we are under great pressure of potential divorce. Without any resolution, i think she tried to maintain this as an weapon to threaten me to saty. She do not want to loose the feel of out-of-control suicide just in case she needs to use it.

This woman has serious problems and major stress right now.
To have attempted suicide -- I'm surprised she was not placed in the psych ward on a 72hr. hold to initiate treatment.
Unfortunately, once out of the hospital any further counseling
/ therapy is up to the patient whether they do it or not.
A person in her mental condition could very well use the threat of suicide as a threat or weapon in your relationship.
She said it was just a one-time-thing. Don't believe it. In a weak moment if she would do it once, she could do it again.
My best advice to you is to learn how to handle this sort of situation with the help of a counselor / therapist. A session or two can open your eyes to how to best handle this.
For her own safety, she probably should be supervised, or have someone in the house with her for awhile. That someone does not necessarily need to be you.
Sometimes the best course is for the two of you to see a Counselor / therapist concerning your marriage-divorce. In such circumstances a "planned or trial separation" may be advised to give her the chance to get her feet back under her emotionally and mentally before life-changing decisions are made permanent. It can help you both, whether you continue the marriage, or divorce, to feel less of a need to be "in control", taking some pressure off the situation.
The suicidal person needs to make her own decision, believing life is worth living. She may need to do this alone.
never heard of that suicide therapy. yea, is one time but if she doesnt go thru it to the end, its just tough to explain.

Suicide is serious and does need help. If she did do it as a way to manipulate you into staying with her, she defiantly does need to see some sort of therapy to help her sort out some of her problems.
That's so sad. Does she have many friends? Got to cheer her up!
Her doctor can have her commited for 72 hour hold if he feels she is a threat to herself or others. I know this is extreme. He will have to feel she is a threat to herself to commit suicide again, so keep this in mind that if she does threaten to do this you can report this to her physician who legally can have the police come and pick her up and have her taken to a hospital for treatment for 72 hours or longer if they deem it necessary.
Anyone who attempts suicide should have to see a therapist...if the two of you are having serious marital problems, you should be in marital therapy, too. If the marriage cannot be saved, at least it can be ended with as much help as you can get. Good luck! KJL
Be there for her and give her your support, but there is only so much you can do if some one is determined to commit suicide. You shouldn't feel guilty for this break up and she can't use it for ransom you you stay with her. I really think she needs to see a psychiatrist to see her mental state.
She is not doing it to you, she's looking for an escape. Once suicide becomes an option it stays an option. Whatever you do don't tell her it's just to get attention & she won't go through with it. It will be the last thing you tell her. Just tell her that things will work out & answers will come to her as she needs them. She needs to take things one day at a time. There's not a whole lot you can do to stop her, she's only telling you it's a one time thing so that she can try again. She's just regrouping. Therapy might help, but they may lock her up for her own safty too. You can keep a close eye on her, but I'm sure you have you own life live too. It's really all up to God at this point. I been brought back 3 times & I can tell you the last thing you want to hear when you wake is "Your lucky, we managed to save you". The only thing you're thinking is damn I woke up. If God wants her to stay he'll take care of her. I once went 45 miles from town in the country & no one even knew I left. I passed out before I could make sure I was too far gone & God sent some one to find me. It's not all up to you, although it may seem like it. I was upset at the time it didn't work, but you get over that with time. My prays are with you. It's a tough thing for both of you to go through. Let her family know what's happening.
suicide is NOT a one time thing
talk to your counselor about how to get her there.
if you really care about her, would you want to be married to her or have her dead? (not intended to be harsh, but it might sound that way)
but she is probably unstable, so be careful how you approach her. act sweet and nice (i hope you ARE sweet and nice) remind her through your actions of why she married you!
good luck!
