[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Yes, I've been the therapists (though not currently in therapy) and tried exercise, and I take sleep meds sometimes --but I can't take them every night. I'm not on antidepressants; I feel like I should avoid them because it's mostly situational. Maybe I should be drugging up more. I have a noise machine but he doesn't like it.

As PP notes there is a huge stigma attached to not sleeping together. That's one of my DH's arguments--every couple we know sleeps together and can't imagine not doing so (or so he thinks).

Thanks for those offering support. [/quote]

Situational depression does not go on for ten years; you have chronic depression, and typically that requires medication to find meaningful relief. Either way, though, your husband is telling you he misses sleeping with you, he misses that intimacy with you (both the sex and probalby just the closeness of having you in bed next to him), and you are basically telling him that his needs don't matter and you're not inclined to try anything else to address the issue. If he does divorce you, that will be the core reason, sleeping in separate rooms is just how it plays out.[/quote]
