I know how you feel. Even though my husband knows I'm depressed he's not overly concerned and doesn't want to talk about it. I feel pretty lonely. I guess he's tired of it or he's running from it. He closes down. Sounds like this is a way your husband is coping unsuccessfully too...in a different way...yet the same...a turning away from...an escape. At least we have each other here to support us. A manic depressive knows when he/she is depressed; especially if you've been dealing with it as long as I have. It doesn't make it any easier. Sending prayers your way.
