writes:My boyfriend and I have been together for a year and a half. He's there for me when he is available, I can tell him anything and we are good at being level headed and not fighting with each other.I am concerned, he seems to be pulling away lately. I ask him if everything is alright and he says it is. He was recently told by a doctor he has depression. I've done everything I can to be there for him.But it seems lately that he doesn't seem interested in me anymore. He checks his phone a lot when we are together, we don't see each other a lot and when we do, we just sit and watch movies. It's also been a while since we've slept together. I try and initiate things, but he can't get it up. I ask if everything is ok and he says it is. I don't know what to do. I don't want to nag him and keep on asking "is everything ok?".I've done that and I keep getting the same answer. But I feel neglected. He's stopped calling me pet names and doesn't often send cute text messages like he once used to.What should I do? Help please.

 "Sounds" to me like he has silently dumped you... but not told you so.....
Let him go..... and, if he really gives a darn about you, perhaps he will contact you after that....
Good luck..

This is most likely all a symptom of depression. So, he needs to treat his depression or this will be the new normal for things.
There's nothing you can do except motivate him to get help. If he already is (through drugs/therapy/nutritional supplements/whatever) than all you can do is be patient if you want to stay with him, or leave him if you can't deal with it.
If he refuses help then it's time to say goodbye.
