Someone to ctb with....

[Socaku]

Would ctb be easier, if you have company....?

For me...yes absolutly,i wish it was easier having a ctb partner

 

[Tristan]

For me alone, probably wouldn't have the courage to do so with a partner.

 

[WhiteRabbit]

If it were someone I loved, yes it may be easier. I don't really understand the desire to do it with just anyone though.

 

[Quiet Desperation]

I've given this a lot of thought over the last few years. At first glance, the impulse is very human and understandable not to want to be alone when facing death, something most of us fear above all else. I'm sure there is some comfort that could be taken there with another person who truly understands.

However, because of the current social attitude, religiosity, and subsequent pathologizing and legislating of suicide in our society, trusting anyone with your true feelings carries significant risks. Any person wanting to meet for such a purpose, here or anywhere else, could be a predator, law enforcement or healthcare agencies looking to 'help' you, or be part of the growing moral panic mob targeting SS. Any honest person who does meet you and somehow ends up surviving when you don't could be held legally liable for your death, or vice versa. People close to you in your real life will often turn on you like lightning if you tell them, whether out of genuine concern or something more selfish. It happened to me and I lost everything I valued in this world (excellent job, gf, best friend) solely because I expressed how I was feeling. The steps I took to try to make it easier for them backfired, every single one of them carrying an enduring personal cost for me.

All that to say, it is an interesting idea but be prepared for the very worst aspects of humanity ready to exploit the vulnerable before you trust someone with such an arrangement, and above all else be safe. Actual examples of all of the above happening exist.

No, I want to die alone far away from any people. I would feel more calm about ctb if there was no one else around. It is what feels right for me as I have spent a lot of my life alone.

I've thought about looking for a partner but haven't decided on it yet. I don't know anything anymore. I've debated it. Recently I was thinking more about it though. Debating it all really.

 

[Niirvana]

If I could choose, I choose to die accompanied

There is a partners megathread right on the main page. Lots of people searching for a partner in the act. As far as having someone with you, just for comfort, not a ctb partner, you might put them in a tough spot legally. I'm not versed in laws so couldn't say more. But I would assume if someone's dying, especially not in an immediate manner, then not calling emergency or doing anything to save that person, might get someone in trouble. But like I said don't know more.

For me personally, death is a very intimate event, and as we came onto this world alone, we're gonna leave alone. I don't want to be distracted in a way by another person in this process. I'll think about God, believe in him or not, and try to ask forgiveness.

I've got mixed feelings about it. Ideally I wouldn't want to be alone in my last moments. I would like if CTB partner was someone who I would consider a friend or someone I would love, because that's very personal matter to me.

On the other hand meeting with some random stranger with the sole purpose of dying together seems morally questionable to me. It would feel like we are "allies with common goal". The whole relationship would feel too much "business-like" to me. I am not sure I would feel comfortable with it so I haven'y decided If I want partner or not.

 

[unkuto]

I fear if we do it together with someone I might die and he wouldn't. Or vesa-versa.
I would be terrified if my method will fail and I'll find a corpse next to me.

 

[Aeathelina]

Probably because I least I'll have a fool's hope that I'll see that person in the ether
