You are capable of loving someone as they are but also expect to have your own needs met. It wouldn't be changing WHO he is, he'll still always need more space when he's in a depression. But he can learn to change his behaviour so that he doesn't alienate you and make you feel unloved. That doesn't change who he is as a person... it's just that he can and should learn better ways to cope with his depression.
