Is it Depression (Might have triggers)

Ok maybe someone can help me here because I am not sure. I go to my Doctor and she tells me that I am depressed. I don't know really cause I don't feel that I am depressed. My husband comes into the room with all of the complaints he has about me. That I don't want to live life anymore and the only thing that my world revolves around is the kids. My life is pretty basic I go to work come home and then take care of the kids the rest of the night. (No help from the hubby) I don't exactly see how he wants me to live life. I don't cry or anything like that. Mostly my night consists of trying to get the kids down. I have a 2 year old and a 4 month old. Then I am so tired from that I don't spend time with my husband that leads to "talks". Talks of how I don't spend time with him or talks of divorce because of it. I get so angry because of this cause it is the same stuff all the time. I am unhappy with my weight but lots of people are and I come to terms that I will never be a barbie doll. My husband hates my family and is always seeming to put them down. Which leads to more anger on my part and more of a feeling of separation from him. It is to the point where I don't communicate with him anymore. But he tells the Doctor that I am unhappy with my weight, I don't want to do anything and that I am depressed. They put me on pills which I took for a week then with all the "talks" got disgusted and quit taking them. The Doctor also recommended couseling. Which I have not schedule due to the fact that my husband says all I will say is bad stuff about him. I am not sure if I am having residual feelings from before (he cheated on me) and really just can't get back the feelings I had for him before. I myself don't think that it is depression I think it is just putting up with him too much lately. So I have come here with the question as to if it is depression or not?
