Discussion CTB with partner(s)

[Sunset Limited]

The thought of CTB alone scares me. When I think of CTB with a partner, I can even do it with a smile. I don't know why this makes me brave but it totally changes the game.

Years ago when I didn't know SS yet, I have a CTB attempt with partial hanging. The feeling that hurt me the most at that moment was being alone in the room. Something inside me was screaming, "Something's wrong". Maybe the reason I want CTB with the partner is because I feel approved for my action. If someone is with me, that voice inside me disappears. Still, I guess CTB will be something I have to face alone. How do you feel about it?

i too would like to find a trustable partner. lots of suspicious people on here still

For me would be an alone moment. My time, my music, my farewell. But I understand the fact that people like company. With euthanasia they have company until the very end.

It's a great point. I would never choose someone as a partner with whom I have not spent a long time on this forum.

I want to ctb far away from any people, I want to be alone. I would feel more relaxed about ctb if there was nobody else around.

I would like a partner to overcome my SI

 

[Zzzzz]

It would be nice if someone trustworthy was found. To not die alone, to feel supported, but I don't think a partner would out work for me. I would be too worried that one of us could not overcome SI and bad things would happen as a result, like the survivor being accused of murder. Be careful, there are always people looking to take advantage of vulnerable persons.

Ctb with a partner has its appeal. You won't be alone in your final moments and have someone who can empathize with you. I considered using the partners thread in the past, but I think the benefits don't outweigh the risk.

The partner you choose could have ulterior motives, which could lead to a dangerous situation to say the least. There's also the issue of SI. For example, say your SI kick in while your partner's dying. I'd imagine there would be some criminal charge leveled against you if you only got help for yourself. Not to mention the scenario where only one person dies while the other survives. On a similar note, it could pressure person A to ctb, when they may be having second thoughts, because person B is set on ctbing together.

I don't have anything against people who want to have a partner to ctb, they have their reasons and I have mine, but I would advise anyone looking for a partner here to be careful and to listen to their gut feelings.

i think i would prefer to be alone somewhere cold and beautiful out in nature listening to music. although i could see some advantages to having a partner. but not so sure for me personally, i feel like i'd be worried that they wouldn't be fully sure and may feel pressure towards the end.

I guess it depends on your chosen method. Some are easier to do with with a partner than others.

I wouldn't ctb with anyone but a longtime friend or romantic partner.

I would prefer with a partner or being completely completely alone with no family living close by or whatever. It feels safe with a partner if you know them well and feels safe being alone because you know no chance of someone coming to your rescue.

I think the main risks of ctb with a partner can be mitigated enough to make it worth it by really getting to know the person and their situation. Read all their posts, have a lot of in-depth conversations, meet them in public a few times, and make sure you are both completely on the same page about your intentions. Also make sure to have a plan in place if SI gets in the way for either of you at the last minute.

I actually hadn't considered a partner before I found SS, or if I had I've long forgotten. My major block is fear of what will happen afterward and I think I would almost need help to overcome my anxieties about letting go of everything I know. I just can't deny that going all alone is frightening to me, at least as I am right now.

As much as I want company, I do not want to drag anyone in my personal business moreso the thought of what happens after we both CTBed; devices are still open, videos/chat still running, authorities/family will be able to investigate and then blame this forum. I do not want that because this has been a safe haven not just for me but for others too. I do not want it to be taken down.

I'd prefer to be alone so I could take my time, have my music on, and just relax. There's a lot of risk involved with having a partner

 

[Foresight]

I feel death is something we face alone no matter what. Death really emphasizes how alone we really are. Having a partner for the sake of a false sense of emotional comfort doesn't sit well with me.

If it's for practical reasons then by all means. If I make it long enough and he makes it long enough then my spouse will likely be involved in my suicide.

I completely understand. I feel like all the prep (both immediate and future) would be so overwhelming and if someone was on board with me, and as determined, it would feel like a huge relief. Not to mention the planning to make sure it's successful - because with someone, it has to be. So it would be even more relieving in that sense. You are absolutely not alone.

a partner means more responsibilities, something I don't even have for myself

 

[halcyon]

one thing about partners is that they can back out when you're deadset on ctb. that's what happened to me. and there's nothing wrong with backing out, of course, but it can really crush your hopes especially when it was something you really wanted.

0 chance of me finding one because of location alone.

Partners backing out will receive criminal charges if another person dies,
