If this is what helps him cope...after all he is depressed, then I'd let him. My husband and I go through spurts of separate sleeping and I am always welcomed back into the bed when I'm ready to return. I'd be hurt if he told me to leave especially if I'd already felt like %#@&#!. No matter how mad he is he sleeps better knowing I am by his side instead of downstairs on the couch.

Your husband is depressed...he's already down enough as it is. I'd definitely be a little sympathetic to him without degrading my side of the story. It's difficult to weigh but can be done. Talking is the best thing to do...sometimes you have to let him win. My husband's not much for conversation so when we actually do talk about serious stuff...like our marriage, I sometimes let him say what he needs to then let it be done, whether I disagree strongly or not. It's my way of not blowing him down and making him never want to talk to me about anything serious again.

Sleeping together is important so if there's a way to compromise...do it.
