Yeah, so here's the thing about depressed spouses. They're unpredictable. You can't fix it. All you can do is be supportive and let him go down the path he needs to go down.

My H is in a rather severe depression. It's horrific. All I can do is validate and support, but I'm trying to stay the hell out of his way because the changes he needs to make - he has to figure them out himself. He also has to do the work.

Take care of yourself. That's all you can do. See a therapist for yourself if you need help coping with his depression or your situation.
