Complicated answer. I do think suicide should be a human right (but you should have to be proven to be of sound mind and that it’s not for lack of social support, so mostly only painful terminal disorders). That said, your ex got to the conclusion of “people should be allowed to kill themselves” in a way that approaches the concept from a bizarre spiritual system that allows it to ignore pretty much all known ethical and moral standards.

you should respect a person

But

he’d just laugh at me when i said i was depressed or anxious.

His statements and actions are only consistent in a single way: maximising the harm felt by people

Do you want to trust him? Does trusting him feel good in any way?

people who feel/think this way are angels being called to heaven

He’s an idiot. Move on.

your ex is a narcissist that didn’t want to put in the effort necessary to help someone.

He sounds not well himself. Religion is a hell of a drug.

Something about a comma splice.

that you should respect a person’s wishes to die or a depressed person’s wish to not get better or else you’re a toxic and bad person.

What utter bullsh*t, colorful camouflages of selfishness and cynicism. You better don’t follow that path.

Compassion, loving, caring, helping each other. These are the proper thoughts to think and things to to.

Psychosis. He needs professional help.

That’s scary and it sounds like he’s advocating for people to not empathize.

Your ex is bonkers and you deserve better.

Ignoring for the moment that he’s an asshole who made fun of you (don’t ignore that, but do ignore him), the whole ‘angels called to heaven’ thing is bizarre. It’s easy to label this as religious fruitcakery, but practically all churches demonize suicide. After all, if the afterlife’s so cool that everyone is tripping over themselves to get there, then there wouldn’t be anyone left on earth to exploit.

If he had a religious upbringing, then maybe he’s messed up because of internalized homophobia or trauma. Often those families and communities pay little regard to mental health. But that’s entirely his problem, he doesn’t get to treat you like that.

Yes, he is toxic. It sounds like he simply doesn’t see any intrinsic value to life that is not his own. You are better off that he is an “ex”.

He sounds deeply depressed. He doesn’t understand that depression is something you can recover from. At this point, he genuinely may not want to recover from depression. He may subconsciously choose hopelessness from the start to protect himself from disappointment and failure.

There’s no sure-fire way to get out of depression. It is very individual. If there’s a problem with you not receiving a basic human need, you’ll need to figure that out and address it. You also need to learn to talk back to your negative voice and redevelop positive goal-setting. Sometimes it takes a long time and most of this occurs subconsciously, as you adapt to the circumstances around you.

But when you do recover from depression, you feel better. The depressed person just can’t see it in the moment. Ex’s approach is kind of like not saving someone drowning in a pond because you think they’ll drown on land too. There’s a before and an after that makes a difference here.

I find that alot with religious types. jesus personally flys them up to heaven on his winged unicorn. its not surprising religion gets so easily warped into whatever people want it to be to rationalize their thoughts.

Where is the statement?
