 Okay it is time you sit down with him and talk to him. You need to tell him exactly how you feel. His depression is a medical matter and reassure him you will be there for him when he needs it. Is he on medication for it? If things get really bad then he should ask his doctor to revise his tablets. As for not contributing financially. Again you need to talk to him about this. Tell him he needs to start earning and bringing in money, that it is not fair on you having to do all the work. If you allow him to only contribute a small bit he will not have the energy to try and make this change, as in a certain way you are mothering him and allowing him to live like this. Again with the issue of sex. Tell him you are feeling neglected. Explain that it is not fair on you when he is up all night playing video games. Explain to him things need to change or else the relationship is over, you cannot stay with someone for the sake of a child.
