This sounds a lot like what happened with me. I had just started a new job, life was great, my depression was laying low and felt under control. So we got married and life was great for about four years.
Looking back at my journals (so glad I kept them and didn't shred), I can see that the three years prior to that I was depressed, I was struggling with uni and dropped back to part time. Once my degree was finished and I started working, I felt much better and the mania started. I felt free as a bird.
He comments quite frequently that I've changed too. That I used to be fun and be intimate all the time. And now nothing. He wants me to be happy to, but from a point of view of "you need to fix yourself". I feel very lonely too :-(
