Discussion Is a CTB partner a good or bad idea in your opinion

[lucid]

I've been thinking about this for a while, whether I should have a CTB partner or not, and if yes then whether they should also be someone I know. Because I know several people around the same stage as me, and of course the factors of "trust" and etcetera comes into play with online CTB partners which can be a little hard sometimes. I want it to be with someone I know so I'm more at ease but in general doing it with anyone else would make it a lot more comforting. If there's anything I didn't mention or whatever feel free to bring it up, my head's all over the place right now.
I want to know the majority's opinion on this and settle on a decision.

Tl;dr:
• Is a CTB partner a good idea?
• If yes, is it a good idea for them to be someone you know?

If I were a female I'd only consider a well trusted partner as suicidal women draw fetishist predators.
I don't know how to safely gain that trust though.

Be safe.

 

[Skyview]

Most viable partner is obviously someone you know and trust .
Searching for a partner who you know nothing about could lead to problems , do you trust them or are they playing you , not everyone is a predator . Look at @Sideswipe posts on partners to give you some idea .

I dont think those we know would be willing to be CTB partner, suppose its alot to ask. There could be many drawbacks in finding someone, cos they could make out to be someone and then turn out not. Its a decision only yourself can make. I dont wish to die alone, but if passing by CTB then think sooner be alone. if someone was there, they could get into all sorts of trouble afterwards. I had hoped when I passed (I have lots of nasty physical conditions) that would have my loved ones holding my hands, but both of them have now gone, so however I go I seem destined to pass alone.

It really depends, like others said, some people could take advantage of you when you are most vulnerable while others may be legit. It is always a risk and there is no 100% guarantee that it will be legit, so you would need to vet each potential CTB partner carefully before proceeding. One thing is that if you feel unsure or uncertain, then it might be a good idea to back out, because it's better to be safe than sorry as it's one thing to be suffering in life horribly to want out, but then to get taken advantage of on top of that is a pain far too great to bear.

 

[R_N]

It depends if you find one you are looking for. For me, I would rather do it alone.

 

[S1mpleme]

It depends. If you're not afraid to meet online people in real life then yes, is not a bad idea. I wish I had someone, but I guess this is impossible. Anyways, you wrote that you know someone, so probably you can try that.

I can't imagine ever meeting up with anyone I met on the internet to commit suicide with, it'd just make me more anxious/paranoid if anything.

 

[Lady black]

It´s a good idea, I was near to od it with someone from here, but she was tracked by her parents. Otherwhise I would not be here now and I can say it was a nice meeting

 

[Quarky00]

I always wanted a ctb partner , if it works it would be perfect , but I know it's very tricky (to say the least) and mostly hinders ctb while leaving someone hurt .

 

[LastWhisper]

Good enough. Many things are easier to do together. But something could go wrong and cause little or big issues. 50/50 I would say.

 

[Backwood_tilt]

Can't understand it in the slightest, especially if it's someone you don't know and are meeting for the purpose of CTBing together.

But If it makes you feel better about this sort of decision, sure why not. It's all individual preference at the end of the day.

 

[Brick In The Wall]

I can sympathize with the feelings of not wanting to be alone in your last moments. However, I feel like there's too many things that can go wrong. It can be complicated enough to try it on your own.

 

[LegaliseIt!]

I thought about it, but after reading @Sideswipe posts, I immediately decided that it was a terrible idea for me.

 

[Ghost2211]

Nope, way too many risks.

 

[Amorphous Blob]

I don't see the need for one. If you can't do it alone you shouldn't do it at all

 

[Pan]

I have read of people doing it together in hotel rooms. In some cases, incredibly, they meet as strangers and ctb without ever knowing each other. That, to me, seems shocking.

 

[The nerd]

I take solace in others. For me it would help to have someone else, but I get how it's a bad idea.

 

[Sideswipe]

I don't see the need for one. If you can't do it alone you shouldn't do it at all

Initially I was going alone but after reading partners I wanted to help and thought hmm not a bad idea if we are all in it together then why not... the legalities of it however are a complete turn off and then the being messed about too.. it's outright dangerous really. Then many of us have spent out our lives making reckless decisions and acting on impulse. Many years of being in solitude. The thought of a group if us having a laugh, smoke a drink or whatever before sn sounded appealing.
One last crack before we exited. The reality though... completely different. Even if one survived.. the implications for assisted suicide etc.. The list goes on..

 

[listeningpost1379]

i trust that we women have understanding for each other and the presence of a female friend would ease all of the anxiety and fear that i know would cripple me if im on my own

 

[Meretlein]

There's a huge risk but to some not dying alone is worth it.

Anyone who wants a partner should take the time to get to know potential partners. Even then you can't be sure of the other persons' intentions and whether or not things will go without a hitch.

 

[Mr.Nobody]

I am gonna have to do it alone.

Best to find someone the same gender as you for obvious reasons. Everyone has their own way of trusting someone, just hope that person is telling the truth. Good luck and stay safe

 

[Grandexit]

For me it's just another set of complications I could do without. I can't control someone else, and I don't need to deal with someone else and their needs and issues on a day like that. I don't see how it will benefit me at such a crucial time. What if they freak out, and then my plans get screwed? No thanks, pass.

 

[Deleted-User-0]

I personally think it is not a great idea as it adds a lot of pressure and complexity to an already stressful experience.
Furthermore, I believe CTB is a very personal/private path.

I don't see the need for one. If you can't do it alone you shouldn't do it at all

Perfectly summed it up.

 

[AlreadyGone]

In my opinion, it is a bad idea. Ctbing is hard as is. Adding another person to the equation just makes it harder. If you can't do it yourself, what makes you think you can do it with someone else.

 

[SettOne1994]

its considered morally wrong to bring someone in suicide... even if they are at the same stage they might not do it at all if it wasnt for you...but again i would consider a partner in crime

 

[WhiteEyes]

Its neither I just dont want to die alone. I tried it alone and it was too lonely.. maybe i should try lsing with someone who also is going to do it.

[GinaIsReady]

I was burned pretty bad by a partner I found here on SS so I won't be trying that route again.
