This is sort of how my relationship is with my husband. He realizes I'm stuck in a severe depression so doesn't push me to do stuff but will encourage me to join him in activities if I wish. He has very high self esteem and is very happy. He definitely sees the great importance in him having a balanced life, so I think that despite all my carrying on about how depressed I am, he keeps it in perspective and doesn't let that weight him down too much. He has talked to a therapist about me, so I think that has helped him to not feel guilty about living his own life to the fullest despite me being, for the part, not functioning well at all.
