SE, I dont know what to tell you and I feel for what you are going through deeply. It hurts me hear that you are having problems that you thought had been worked out. I too used to be depressed as you well know, so I know what it is like. Remember about the "man and his cave", from Mars/Venus. Your H is has somethings on his mind and is in his cave. Let him be, he will come out when he is ready. Just tell him you will be there for him when he is ready to talk, but on his own time. Use this time as dark time and work on SE, whatever you need to do just do it. He will see this and start to come around. It sounds like the two of you are pushing way too musch and both need a break, so take a break. Give him a hug and just let it go. You will be okay and know this better than anyone else. Just like you said, "who thought that piecing would be so difficult. You need to ask yourself what you want and go get it...for you. I dont know what else to say or even if this helps. I hope it does ((((((SE)))))).
