Very new here (just a couple days), and not sure if it's ok to post in both "Staying" and in "Undecided." Please let me know if that's not allowed. The reason I've posted in both is bc I have a pretty unique situation in that I'm staying ONLY bc my disability prevents me from leaving. I have a rare nerve disorder which causes me chronic pain and mobility issues. I cannot physically leave, and even if HE leaves, I cannot support myself bc I can no longer work bc of my disability. I think a separation would absolutely be the best course of action, but it is not feasible. Is there anyone else who is in a similar situation in which you want to leave (for separation or divorce) but can't bc of physical or financial issues? If so, how are you handling it?

you might want to post in the staying board.
it seems to me that you are literally stuck in the rs. you will have to learn the coping strategy to stay afloat.
just one thought for you, what would happen to you if your spouse dies tomorrow? how would you carry on your life? if you can visualize your life then you will have ways to live by yourself, without BPD.
