Dating depression....NO sex! :(?

[lonelylikenoother]

Hi everyone! I am a 34 yr. old female, have been dating a great guy for about 8 months. Upon our first date he was extremely open and let me know that he suffered from depression and was medicated and had been for 2 years. I listened intently and didn't know what a big deal it truly is. Depression like you've heard is an illness, it is all consuming. I have to choose my words wisely, be the bigger person and be there for him 24/7. I don't mind, I love him. I would do anything for him. I tend to find myself online researching depression and googling certain situations that happen in our lives daily to see if anyone else is experiencing the same thing I am. The #1 thing I have learned is....IT'S NOT ME! Anything he may say that is off kilter, act differently, etc. is NOT BECAUSE OF ME. That leads me to my question....I have read that depression is all consuming and because of this he is too tired for sex. Last month we had sex twice. When we first started we were like rabbits, then the next month it slowed, the next even less and now it literally is twice a month. I don't want to pressure him but I have needs. He holds my hand and gives me the occasional kisses but I need the be touched intimately, feel him, etc. Is anyone else going through this and any advice on how to get through it? Thanks for any advice or SUPPORT you can give. Happy Thanksgiving....
