Hi Ellen,

Yes, my H is still depressed. He stopped taking his AD's in July because of the side effects he said they were causing him, like hot flashes and sweating. And interestingly, not too very long after that, what sex life we had went right down the tubes. Hmmmmmm.......correlation? Most likely.

He is now convinced that he doesn't need them, even after his doctor told him he shouldn't have stopped taking them and should have tried another one to see if the side effects lessened. He doesn't see the doctor again until January. That will give me time to come up with a way to see if I can get him back on a different one to try.

And yes, I want my H to be in love with me and show desire for me also. I guess we should work on a list of goals to achieve this end, but I wonder if it is possible while my H's depression remains untreated.

I am doing about everything my H has always dreamed he wanted me to do for him--not work so that I could take care of him by cooking, cleaning, doing his laundry, be available to spend more time with him among other things and yet, his depression does not allow him to appreciate what he has right now.

Well, he just let me know he is on his way home, so I am signing off for now.

LG--off for an evening cruise with her H
