I think the idea of him getting some help in dealing with the stresses of your depression is very valid. If he is hesitant, try to get him to see that you KNOW you are difficult, so it's not that he is dumb or a failure - he just has a harder job than most.
I'm glad you are back on your Zoloft. If the sexual side effects are as important to your marriage as I am thinking they are, then maybe you should talk to your pdoc about trying something else (though when you have an antidepressant that really works, you kind of hate to try something else!). If you switched meds, that would also tell your husband that you are hearing what he is saying and taking it seriously, and that you are willing to work for the marriage.
Good Luck
