Am I being unrealistic?

This is my first post to this particular board....
I've dealt with a few losses of late and have been prescribed medication for depression. I've dealt with depression before, but now it's completely taken over me and I can't seem to scurry out of the black hole by myself....which is why I've gone to the doctor and he's put me on medication.
I'm trying to put a marriage back together that has been enstranged for 2 years (H and I don't live together, but we have been staying over each other's homes for the past few months as we work on things). We have a son.
I have no sex drive....zero. H and I have slept together about five times in the past five months. He's very sexual and is very frustrated that I constantly reject him. Other than the sex, we get a long fairly well most of the time. There's no passion and it's because of me....I have no desire.
H tries to be sensitive and says he supports me and my health, yet we argue at least once a week over the sex issue. Am I asking too much? He's even threatened to get it from someone else if I don't have more sex with him (I don't think he'd really do it, but you never know). I think that he thinks I'm just making excuses....he seems to have no clue as to how depression affects me. I don't know if I should just stop complaining about my health to him and give in, or if he's being a complete insensitive as*. Any suggestions?

Hi Mickey,
It sounds like you have a great husband (not including the part about the sex).
