Discussion Experiences telling your significant other about your plans/desire to ctb?

[neurotoxic]

Asking because I find myself in a position where I'm very attached to someone, and very worried how my death would impact them. I think they would be able to see things from a pro-choice perspective if I explained it gently, and I feel I owe them an explanation in advance before I attempt. It would be nice to go about the rest of my time with them without feeling like I'm lying to them by keeping it secret. Am I crazy for expecting them to understand and not commit me? Has anyone been in a similar situation?

i think that you'll end up getting committed if someone loves or cares about you deeply, but it depends. they do it because they think it'll stop them from losing you. you know them better than people who don't do, though. i don't know if there's a way you could frame your permanent absence from their lives besides the fact that you're ctbing. it's usually very painful for someone to hear that you're planning on killing yourself, because they want to imagine that there's something they could feasibly do.
