I’m only staying in a relationship with my boyfriend so that he doesn’t take harsh action against himself. He has very unstable self-esteem and he just wants to be around me all of the time. If I tell him he is doing something I don’t like he will assume he is very bad and hate himself a lot. Then it is up to me to try and cheer him up and convince him he is good which usually ends up with me feeling down but I can’t tell him that or he will feel even worse and I don’t want him to do anything rash.

That’s a really tough problem. I know exactly how that feels. If you can, try talking to him about going to a therapist. Definitely talk to parents, friends, cashier, anyone who can help.
Don’t tell it to the cashier especially if the bitch loves drama and causes problems. Your boyfriend will go psycho and end up killing her
And actually keep it to yourself. Talking to all kinds of people is the worst thing you can do. Tell him what you wrote here and leave him. He’ll get over it. That’s no big deal. If you want to help him, be mindful when you leave. You don’t need to ever talk to him, just be conscious of what you do and how and with who.
Tell him what you wrote here, let it sink in and he’ll be aware of it with the next one. It’s not all that cruel to hit him with honesty, tell him why, leave him with that and be done with it. He should also eventually clue in that he doesn’t want to be in a relationship that the other person is not fully in either. Just keep idiots away from it if you actually care.
