Dude. You're married. Spouse's lives always revolve around each other. In fact my Mom and Step-dad, married for seven years, often uncosciously become each other, act like each other, for small periods of time. There isn't much room for distancing yourself in most marraiges. Instead of letting her depression get to you have you tried beeing the cheerful contrast, being really optomistic or using humor? Why is everything put on hold when she's depressed? Maybe going ahead and doing something as a family, that she can enjoy, will make her want to join you. If she hears you laughing and having fun, maybe it will entice her out of her cave. (legend of amaterasu reference) (bit of Ameterasu legend: the sun godess Ameterasu in morning locked herself in a cave and took the sunlight with her. But the godess of laughter and happiness danced outside of the cave. Ameterasu was enticed to come out of the cave by the sounds of laughter.)

That isn't true. Pulling what hair I have left out.
