I am still married. My youngest just started high school so we are trying to stay married until he graduates.......especially because my husband considers anyone who takes antidepressants as unfit so he would try for full custody of the kids (not saying a judge would agree, but both of us blowing huge money on lawyers would also affect what kind of housing I could afford post divorce and I'm concerned that my inability to drive most days and to get out of bed some days would affect custody.

So ummmm.......I totally understand having a spouse who refuses to even try to understand living with chronic pain. If you have a partner who is trying to be supportive but struggling with it.....I've got no experience there.
