» steffie022 - Is it the depression or confusion!!

I don't really know where to begin. my husband of 11 years has been diagnosed with depression. He is taking medication, and seems to be helping him in most areas. However the one area that doesn't seem to have any changes is the emotional side to him. He seems to be emotionally lazy. Doesn't want to make the effort when it comes to US; but gives 110% effort to other aspects. Even when it comes to the children, couldn't be bothered to play a board game with our 11 year old daughter but will go play video games with his brother until 3 in the morning. I have tried to discuss these issues, but get nothing in return. Sex is non-existant and even when I make THE MOVES, well, lets just say the rejection is becoming unbareable. I wonder if maybe this is just the end. He made an attempt in the summer to leave with another woman but decided against that and stayed. We have been trying to work things out, but I just have this feeling like something is not right. Help...anyone, any ideas. I am starting to think that he stayed out of guilt and not love. Of course he denies it but I am not convinced!
