Hi Ralphrost,
I don't think depressive traits are something that can spread to significant others. My husband is sad when he sees how depressed I am, but he doesn't take meds or see a therapist or think that he's a hopeless failure like I do.
I chose not to have children when I was still a child. Mainly due to my parents non-stop fighting, but also due to me not being nurturing towards humans, just animals.
I'm beyond child bearing ability so now it's a moot point, but I don't regret not having kids.
