I am so torn between staying and leaving!  I left for 7 months about 6 years ago and was much happier at first and I think my wife was, too. Over the last several months things have gone down hill.  Seems like almost anything I say starts an argument. She drives people away with her anger which boils over, sometimes with no warning at all.  These days, I am totally caught up in worring about my house and all the responsibilities that go with it as well as figuring out how to pay for another place to stay.  I feel so alone with my thoughts. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I know how you feel summerton. I was married to my wife for almost 42 years. She passed away in 2012. It becomes more & more difficult to deal with the issues the older you get. Where did you go when you left for the 7 months?

I moved into a small studio apt, but even that was a challenge to pay for.

Summerton,

Have you tried the various tools to help defuse conflict?  

Have you asked yourself why you stay?

I'm so sorry that you are feeling so alone.  Welcome to bpdfamily though!   Welcome

Is she willing to get therapy if it comes down to it?
