Maybe I had too much to drink last night, but I cannot make any sense of what you're saying. Let me try another angle:
Can you use the outside door handle to open the door?
Can you use the inside door handle to open the door?
sorry about that it was a little late but the problem isn't opening the problem is the outside handle won't let the door close
Thanks

Sounds like the linkage that goes from the handle to the door latching mechanism is hanging. I'd take the door panel off and see where the binding is happening - might be nothing more than lubing those points with some grease.
Hold the outside handle out, look on the bottom of the latch for a star wheel pry it towards the body of the car It will snap into place Don't hold the handle out when closing the door
