This is really yucky to go through. Depression makes me feel so overwhelmed, and then to have someone put one more demand on me - especially sex when it feels as though no one could want me for anything beyond that - well, it's too much.
On the other hand, is it possible that your husband is having insecurities? Maybe he thinks that you're depressed because he's not taking care of you well enough? Or maybe he thinks that you don't care about him anymore and wants to be reasured? Or maybe he is so afraid that your depression is because you are not interested in him anymore and are afraid to tell him?
Maybe this is a good time to try to talk to him about why he's suddenly putting these demands on you right now? It might be catharctic for both of you.
On the other hand, don't do it if it's too much for you right now. Do what you have to do to take care of yourself.
Personally, I recommend Portofino ice cream, the White Chocolate Divina is scrumptious!
