    I thought of that during the divorce - in fact I joined the British Euthanasia society, got the name of the drug and bought some (I needed 3 trips and made 1). Then I met Matt O'Connor - who gave me a focus for my issues. And my current gf. And life just gets better and better.

    Thing is - here I see bankrupcy as a far better option than suicide. And if things get that bad - I will give you plenty of ideas that will convince you of far better ways forward!

    Anyway - plenty of water to go under the bridge - it might never happen- etcetc.
    I actually checked the wording on my policy last night, and as far as I can see, after you've had the policy for a year its just classed with any other death. At least my family would be looked after, and Mr B would be happy as there'd be enough to pay him. All in all a win win situation for everyone.

    Didnt know there was a British Euthanasia society.

      I wish I had kept my big mouth shut!

      But it will never get that far! Or even close! Trust me - I know about these things...

          I really hope you are only joking.

          No matter how desperate things appear, nothing is worth contemplating that.

            Not even in jest would I add that to the list.

            I knew someone who committed suicide earlier this year over money worries. He'd run up a few debts on credit cards but the final tipping point was an unauthorised overdraft of £50 which incurred bank charges. The guy threw himself off a bridge into an oncoming train, and left a wife and 4 kids. The family were absolutely devastated.

              I would never do that, think of the inconvenience caused to all those people.
              My suggestion is not entirely in jest, it really has crossed my mind, but I'm too much the coward. I suspect though that at least one of us will if it goes against us.

                Sadly, I think you may be right. If the guy I knew did it for a few hundred quid...

                I wouldn't be surprised if there are a few family breakups as well.

                It is easy to say "it's only money" but it's often the cause of most problems in relationships. Fortunately, I'm lucky in this department as my wife is completely blase about the whole thing. She always thought it was a bit dodgy but reckoned it was worth a punt.

                If you ever want to talk PM me. Same goes for anyone else. Talk to someone before you contemplate anything drastic. There are friends here who will listen.

                  And think of the pleasure you will give Mr Brannigan. Don't give the sick puppy the satisfaction.

                    Most relationships break up over money or sex. Though neither was a factor when my marriage broke up.

                    If there is anyone reading this who is approaching a bad state - remember that we have not lost anything yet. And there are plenty of better alternatives. Talk to DR or me - I can be PMed or emailed. There is always a solution.

                      Mr B is a civil servant, he will be utterly indifferent to any such occurrence, feeling neither joy nor sadness, it will only concern him in so much as it may affect his collection quota.
                      He is 'just doing his job', an argument which, I believe , has been used before.
