That's really fascinating. Sounds like you have a very deep, unique connection. From what I can feel through your message, I actually believe his intentions are positive, even if it's a bit selfish because it's both about what's best for him as well as you.
Yeah I do think you're right about our connection, I can't really think of any comparison as to what our friendship is like, it really does seem unique to him alone. I don't know what reason that is, but the result it the same.
I remember expression concern at him ending up being arrested for it, but he said that it would be worth it to him, I was confused why he'd want to let me out of my suffering but condemn himself to a full lifetime of incarceration for a victimless murder, but I think I understand why he thinks that now; he feels guilty that he couldn't save me in life... I think in his mind, he views that he should be
punished for "failing" to help me build a life worth living and accepting that my death is the only option.
I don't agree with that myself, I don't think he failed me in any way at all, and I still don't want him to end up suffering a life sentence of meaningless endurance, but if I had to guess why he personally thinks that, I'd think that's the reason.
It's a bit upsetting that I make him feel this way... I don't want to leave him with suffering; but ultimately, regardless of
how I die he will suffer because of the grief I have imposed on him.
If I kill myself, he will suffer; if he kills me, he will suffer... He respects my right to choose but I hate knowing that I will inevitably leave him with more pain than he has right now when I do die, and he really doesn't deserve that...
As an aside... It honestly makes me feel so evil, what I would do to the people I love by terminating my existence...
How can I say I love someone and then do that to them? I really struggle with the personal guilt aspect of it, especially recently... I know that logically I won't be around to feel that guilt much longer so it shouldn't matter anyway, but it does matter to me
right now while I'm still alive yknow. It always has been an immensely hard thing to get past for me, but I know I
can get past it since I've attempted before.
Anyway, whatever, I suppose it's not relevant but, right now I'm trying something different and trying one last time to rebuild or remake my life. I have no clue if I will manage it this time out of the other god knows how many times I've tried, but it's just basically inevitable I will die of suicide or assisted suicide (i.e. letting him kill me) at this point I think.
