In answer to your queston if depression played a role in my relationship -- well, when my husband was alive, no it didn't. When I was with him I felt wonderful! I was on medication of course, but everything was perfect when we were together. We did everything together, and we thought almost the same thoughts! We even finished each others sentences! I adored him, and I can't remember a day when I was depressed with him. But since he's been gone (11 yrs) I'm depressed most of the time.
