A suicide note for at least 40 years later

[liveyoungdiefast]

This is something a lot of you will probably judge as insane. I just felt like sharing this. I'm not asking for advice, I'm set on this and perfectly happy about it.

My girlfriend and I have a lot of aspirations. Travel the world, make a voice for human liberation, go to some awesome concerts and discover the best sex positions. And one of these goals is to write a book. I'm not revealing our wonderfully creative title lest you people steal it (including you, lurking guests). But one thing we wrote for it, that we discussed at great length, is our desire to die on the same day.

Now hear me out. We hope we die old. Is there a chance of that not happening, sure. But just like you board a plane and don't expect it to burst into flames, we don't think about the rare 'if' because it's irrelevant odds. I fly without worrying about a crash, I love my girlfriend without worrying about us dying too young.

So we decided, eventually, in a time when one of us was nearing the end, we'd kill ourselves together. We hope and believe in all likeliness that this is in the far future (after 2050).

So, what say you forum. Insane or romantic?

I don't think it's insane. If you really love someone and want to be with each forever and you can't live without one another it seems romantic. Some people will find what you said insane because it involves taking your life. Hopefully as you said this all happens when you two are old.

Also you said you want to travel and write a book, what if something bad happens to your girlfriend will you just kill yourself or would you achieve those goals then kill yourself.

[aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagg]

I think it's romantic, kinda like in a romance novel. And the goals you have are amazing and even better when you achieve them. =) If you ever get that book published I would buy it. =) I think that this isnt insane just a way of showing how much you love each other. Omgosh! It's like Romeo and Juliet... In a good way though. =)

I think its romantically insane! xD Its insane because its human instinct to want to live for as long as possible. Its romantic because you cant live without eachother.
Its an interesting idea.
If you were the one dying would you want her to kill herself?

[liveyoungdiefast]

Yes. But I'd rather us just do it together, if I found out I was dying.

I don't think it's romantic at all. This isn't Romeo and Juliet and really just killing yourself with someone just because you don't want to live without them is selfish. What if you had kids and then they had kids? Really if you find out that you are going to die why not let her live and enjoy life?

Teenage ''romance'' & naivity

[Atonement]

If it was true romance and love, wouldn't the partners want the other person to keep going and be the best they can be without them once they've passed?

[Amyxoxo]

Well i think it is romantic in an insane sorta way. As long as you grow old together and do everything that you have planned to do then it is sweet. But if one does die before the other im not sure that the person who dies would want them to end their lives as well.

No.
This isn't romantic, at all.

I actually happen to think this is rather naive and ridiculous. Thomas has raised a good point, what if you have kids? Would you be willing to commit suicide although your children and grandchildren are still alive? Putting them through much grief and pain.

I know for a fact that if I was close to approaching death I would wish my partner all my love and the best for the future and to continue living, never would I want him to delibrately kill himself just for the sake of myself dying. That's rather selfish.

We are planning on living childfree and she wouldn't be happy without me, she told me multiple times and she came up with the thought.

We are selfish in terms of finding each other more important than anyone else in the world. I think that's fine, you should put certain people first.

For what? Our lives are intertwined, that's the way we want it.

I don't know what to think. actually I think this is 99.98% insane and 0.01% romantic. I mean your young what if you break up? idk. this is just weird. and the others are right it is kinda selfish. I mean I agree excactly with the person that said if I were dying I would tell my spouse to live as much longer as she could and enjoy life even without me and most important tell her how much I love her.

[peaceloverugby]

Suicide (and death in general for that matter) is not romantic at all. If I was dying, I would want my girlfriend to find someone else who makes her happy and continue to love life in my memory. I also find it silly to plan out your life like this; believe me, I used to do it, it more than likely won't work that way. Hate to burst your bubble, but you asked for my opinion.

[muppletart]

Absolutely insane, but it's all good.. To be fair, you have no chance of staying together for 40 more years.

If you really think you will, I'd consider seeing a psychiatrist. Not sure how old you are, but most people over the age of 16~18 who've had a few relationships realise that the word is absolutely meaningless. You're in it for a good time, so is the girl. You can pretend to be in "love" all you like and that the boring prelude to sex called "dating" and "going out", n stuff - Is totally cool. But end of the day, you're in it for the sex, and with the same girl, you'll be bored after a few years, no matter how strong your willpower is to stay together.

[PoisonedRazorBlades]

I personally think its crazy, not wrong or anything, as it is up to you both. But I just don't believe that much in love anymore, and if I was in that situation, as others have said, I'd want my other half to live and enjoy life in my memory.

[Loislane]

I think it's all rubbish If I'm honest. Sorry, that's not what you want to hear, but please, smell the fresh air.

You mentioned above that you don't want children, for the majority of people, that changes. Remember when we were younger and we all thought the opposite sex was minging? Well, that changed didn't it.
It's very selfish of you, as you'd both be leaving a family. You can live till a very old age to show you're in love, and in my eyes, dying because of 'love' shows nothing.

[bizarre]

its kinda both. but that is so sweet!
