He doesn't want to commit suicide. He thinks it is "cowardly and vile".

Before the consperiasy Portia askes him to tell whats the matter, and he doesnt want to tell Cassius asks himfor for the reason of all Romans would be after him. And same responce. Many believe his life like Cato, his step-father by stabbing himself to not see somethign happened to the one thing they aare protecting they saw Rome become corrupt after Caesar comes to power. After killing him most conspirators kill themself . (Fun fact every conspirator who stabbed Caesar ever served him more than 3 years)

Ok. Yeah he doesnt want to commit suicide but he also said that he had to. He said if the conspirators purpouse was discovered that he will slay himself.

Casca, be sudden, for we fear prevention

-Brutus, what shall be done? If this be known,

Cassius or Caesar never shall turn back,

For I will slay myself.

The other reason for him thinking of commiting is if Rome did not win the war. Him talking to Portia was him just keeping the secret of killing Caesar from her. suicide had nothing to do with it. she stabbed herself just to prove to brutus that she is a strong woman. and just because her dad Cato committed doesnt mean she will. Later on she did kill herself by swollowing hot coals. but really that has nothing to do with why brutus thinks he must. i hope mu answer helped.
