In response to JSC's post I must say that there have been many times in my relationship with my husband when I was not "in love" with him. Every relationship has its ebbs and flows, it is natural. If your partner has depression chances are he can't even feel that sense of love right now. I know I couldn't. Luckily my husband and I have stuck it out and have been together for 16 years. Marriage takes commitment. That commitment sees you through the tough spots when you don't even want to see your partner much less talk to him. I love my husband, I have loved him even when I hated him. It is a complex emotion, one that defies understanding. I hope sincerely that you stick by your partner until there is no choice but to walk away but the middle of a depression is not the time to give up. I find the fact that he still loves you dispite not being in love with you is a good sign.
Take care,
I am rooting for you,
