I don't think cheating is a good solution. I know what you are talking about and depression isn't an easy illness to deal with in a partner, it causes you to become frustrated too and its very contagious. I spend 3 months in a relationship like that, and had to cut it cause it was effecting my outlook and life too. I don't think its right to judge you that much. As healthy human beings, we can't help what we are attracted to, and even if love is there, its hard not to loose y attraction and respect for people who sit and lay around all day, and eat badly, and become fat. I tried to overlook it too, but realized I do need sex, and I do need my partner to be active and outgoing, to have a good relationship. I would encourage her to seek help, and try to motivate her to change, if that doesn't work, maybe you should just cut y losses and leave her. Depression is an illness, but people have to want to get better. I used to preach to my girlfriend every day that a salad is just as good as McD but she wouldn't listen. I tried cooking healthy for her, and reduce fat in her diet, only she would leave to work and go through the drive in. People have to want to get better, if not, there is nothing you can do but stay in a resentful relationship and that doesn't make anyone happy, does it?
