All these plans to kill herself with Roy's help - does she not understand that he could be arrested for that? Does she not understand that others will blame him afterwards?
It's all bound to be investigated Ragga, but she did prepare her "drink" herself while he was out of the room, and did tell him that "whatever happened" he wasn't to touch the glass/jug/medication etc.
What about the guilt and regret that he's bound to feel? She shouldn't have told him she was going to do it. She didn't need his help did she? Now he has to lie to the police if it's investigated, and she knows that he's no good at lying. She didn't think of his future at all.
Well to some extent Ragga those taking their own lives aren't really thinking about those who they are leaving behind, even though they may think that they are. (Eeek, not getting too deep into that one.)
I see what you mean though, if she hadn't told him beforehand the aftermath may have been easier for him in practicality, although then he would have had different emotional issues to deal with.
I think that applies to those who are desperate. Hayley wasn't desperate. She planned it all when she felt relatively well, and all because she didn't want to regress to being "Harold". She made Roy go along with her by leaving when he refused, and she nagged him until he agreed.
