So I've had a lot of shitty relationships and have finally found a girl who I really get along well with. She is beautiful, intelligent, funny and into all the same things as me. The only catch is she has agoraphobia (fear of leaving her house). I want to build a life with this person but her condition will no doubt result in a lot of problems down the line, things I can't even think of right now. What would you guys (or gals) do in this situation?
Pic related, she looks kind of like Moon Bloodgood (possible vampire).

My rule of thumb is to never date seriously anyone handicapped in one way or another. Maybe it's cruel, but life throws so much shit on us that adding up to that by building a relationship with someone with special needs is just stupid imo...
She should seek help. Has she ever talked to a therapist before?
Nothing is impossible to move past

How did you meet her...? Online, presumably?
My advice would be to try to ease her into getting more comfortable out of the house with things you know she would enjoy, maybe start small and take her for walks. Does she give you any specific reasons why she doesn't leave, is she completely homebound?

This is usually a good rule, I'm just torn because she is amazing in every other way.

She has tried therapy multiple times but seems really against it now.

Yep, we met online. Sometimes she can leave the house but she has large stretches of time where she can't. I can occasionally get her to go for walks with me really late at night as it helps when there are no people around.
