Depressed Husband...advice needed. - Talk About Marriage

Just found out that my husband is in a dark place and has been for most of the year if not longer as he sees it from there. Hearing this two days ago, I cannot explain the emotions that went through me. Extreme worry and fear over the person I love and that dark place he's in and how and what can i do to help him and be there in every way possible. As the conversation went on, our relationship it seems is part of that dark place. He thinks we might be a reason. That he is unfulfilled. That the spark has gone. That our future together....is just very likely not to be a possibility anymore. He can't see it. He feels love for me, but all the feelings now or most have taken a "responsibility" feeling mostly.

The good thing is he decided to go to therapy and is scheduled for his second appointment this week. The bad thing is, I feel shattered. I am ready and definitely want to be by his side through all of this. I am afraid. I love him so very much, and always have since we met. We've been married now for 3 years, but have known each other 6-7 years all together. He loved me. He still does. I know it. Part of it, are the words he sent to me in email just last month when I was travelling.

I have suggested that we go to see if I can join in his counseling sessions when he is ready. Or meet the counseller. Also, for us to go to marriage counselling when he's ready. Our relationship is on the line, and I feel I have to fight for him and it together. But how do I maintain my sanity and put my fear of losing my husband aside. Our marriage aside. What it is that is hurtful is how he says it. There is a quiet detachment when he is talking about it. From what I have read about depression _ he still has not been diagnosed, but it sure sounds like it- this is coming from the dark place and the dark tint it has given to life. I don't know.

The door for communication is open. He said it is and not closed. I don't want to discuss it with any of my family or friends. It is too new, too raw, too confusing, too everything.
