Are we going to talk about the Partners Megathread, or

[airboy_a380]

I personally wouldn't take a partner. I've read many scams where people don't even show up. I think the scam megathread is very helpful.

My experience was completely different tbh.

Same here. Never got around to meeting but as some people know, me and @6ixxy were suicide partners and became very close friends. We had a date set, things booked and in place. It was all above board. But sadly he couldn't wait and went before our chosen date. We only met through the partner megathread and without it our paths wouldn't have crossed.
You quickly get a feeling about someone I think, even online. Like you can tell their intentions from what they say, how it's worded etc. Of course there are some dodgy people out there, especially on a place like this where people are more vulnerable and people will try to play on that.

I haven't made that many experiences with the thread. There were awkward onesbut none were bad.

The only thing that I have noticed is that most potential partners I've talked to, have sought out help/are thinking about getting help, so the conversations shifted a little. Which I don't mind btw. I'd rather someone who hasn't lost all hope, get's help before it's too late.

Another thing is that sometimes there just isn't a connection or if there is, its brief.
I have encountered a person who said, that they might be interested in adding a sexual component, when they first told me what they were looking for in a ctb partner. I declined and they were respectful about it.

Right now, I don't have a potential partner and I'm not sure I'm gonna find one.

The partners megathread always seemed like bollocks to me. The reality is, most users on here will never commit suicide. A lot of them are desperate trolls or dangerous predators. You're better off dying alone, I'm afraid.

Youre not wrong though a lot of people in here seem like the casual lil peep teenagers going trough puberty. :/ i know im going to get hate for saying that but it takes away the safespace for people with serious health problems extreme deformities like me and who really fucked up life big time.

There's something about it,
I can't put my finger on what,
but something that makes me very uncomfortable,
so I avoid that whole area.

Although, I guess I tend to walk alone anyway.

Personally unless you have an OUTSTANDING feel for people and you are completely capable of trusting your gut instincts with stuff like this, I think it's a horrible idea to seek out strangers on a forum with whom to potentially CTB. Lots can go wrong with something like this. It's like walking through a minefield, IMO.

I've read some of the bad stories here and think the partnership idea is especially problematic for those who are female. But predators come in all shapes and sizes and males aren't immune from being victimized either.

From all I've read about these potential partnerships on this form over the last eleven months I really think that you're more likely to have a bad experience than a good experience trying to match up with someone on that thread.

I think it's better instead of trying to find a partner for CTB instead try and find people you can chat with to give you some comfort as you potentially move forward in the process.

There are exceptions and seemingly there was one documented case of a successful partnership here, but again this was an exception.

I think you're right in what you say, but some people like me just hate the idea of going alone and would find comfort and confidence to go ahead with a partner.

I think the other minefields apart from the ones you've said is partnering with someone who isn't really committed and who bails at the last minute, or even worse panics mid way through and wrecks it, causing God knows what problems, medical, personal, physical, or legal.

The other thing is if it's a pro life in disguise and when you go to meet them get pounced on by the fuzz. LoL.

It's a risk some of us are willing to take, but I fully understand many others won't or can't do that.

That'd be ok. Just tell the fuzz that you're actually pro-life & you were intending to meet the other person to talk them out of ctb!

I've never used the partners thread. I'll go alone. Don't want the potential complications or to have to compromise myself or my plans in any way.

No hate from me. The truth of this world is that most people would love to take advantage of people like us. The lower you are, the more they line up to trample on you.
