Depressed husband

Hi,

We have been married ten years and have two young children. We have had ups and downs mostly because very early on in our relationship he lost my trust and had to fight hard to re-gain. We have also had issues with different love languages. Early last year we seemed to have turned a corner and were finally feeling happy but then last summer he became depressed and distant from me and relationship has never recovered. He sought therapy but that seemed to make his issues worse. It’s coming up to a year and I’ve tried to be supportive but now it’s reached a point where it’s wearing me down and making me miserable. He was away last week and I realised I am actually happy and want to be happy. It just seems so hard for us to achieve that. What do I do?
