Pretending it doesn't exist is his way of coping with it. My DH does the same. He'll take me out to the shops for the day and then when I complain of being tired, he'll say something that he doesn't know hurts but makes me want to tell him that he should remember that I can't do the same amount of running around that other people can. Which is why I let him run all the errands, unless I have to make the decision about something. He does all the shopping, paying bills I can't pay online etc.
My family are starting to be a little more considerate when we're out. They'll find somewhere for me to sit and when I visit them, they'll help me in and out of the car or get a comfortable chair for me. It's definitely a case of ignoring it so it will go away. The trouble with this thing is that it won't kill you, unless the depression overwhelms you of course. But you must get help before that happens.
