She told me not to pay attention to his doings treat him as normally as possible but he is closed to me. He moved to another room, he just says hello and he posts staff on Facebook. What I wonder is this rupture coming from the depression or it is a liberation from someone he never loved. We have been 4 years together and have a 2,5 boy. Her daugther from a previous mariage lives with us. Our sex life was inexistent after the baby was born and he says is not the medication or the alcohol ingest.
I need your advices
TY so much

I have been battling MDD for a long time and your story really hit my heart. I also battle HPD of the appeasing type so I may be wrong in my comments. Anyway, it may be that your husband is so exhausted emotionally that he closed himself off. It sounds to me that he is abusing alcohol? I did this often in my relationships. He may be embarrassed of his drinking and trying to hide it from you hence moving to a different room? I may be way off, but if you suspect this, I would discuss this with your therapist on the best way to handle it. When people are under the influence they are not themselves and need professional help. Also, alcohol mixed with depression is a red flag so I would consult a professional, should you suspect this. Depression also impacts people's sex drive and it often becomes non-existent. Is he in therapy? Sorry you are going through this.
