[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I disagree with everyone saying he is gay. If that were true that would only explain the lack of sex, but not everything else. To me he sounds like he is depressed. Lack of motivation, hopelessness, no sex drive, no affection, general apathy, things that you used to take pleasure in don't make you happy anymore...all of those are symptoms of depression. I think you said he was unemployed and looking for a job? That can be very stressful and to some men doubly so because of the biological pressure to be the "provider" for his family. See if he would be open to going to a therapist on his own.[/quote]

+1 - he sounds depressed.  Maybe there are other issues but the way he's handling his issues is definitely coming out oas depression.  Basically, life is all work, no fun.

I'm guessing that's also related to his unemployment, which can be really tough.  I'd seek counseling for yourself if he won't go.  What you are describing cannot go on for either of you.  He might be mad about it, but the alternatives are worse.
