<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

I've been in a relationship for the past year now, and we quickly fell in love, but things have changed over the past 3 or 4 months. She's become more demanding and condescending, and I've become more distant and depressed. Neither of us are happy, and we've made that clear to one another. The only thing that keeps us together is that we love each other.

 I have a hard time imagining life would be like without her. She has truly helped me to become a much better person, but it feels like what was "help to better myself" quickly became "efforts to change me". 

Things have gotten better recently, but I fear it's only because we don't see each other as often.  We've almost broken up at least five times already, but every time we always just reiterate "I love you" and it always overcomes the shitty parts. 

Recently my depression has become worse than it ever has been, and I'm going to see a therapist for the first time in my life tomorrow. I already know that all signs for my depression will point towards our relationship. I don't know how I'll be able to work out the problems in our relationship if I can't work out my own problems.
<bot>: Is love a valid reason to continue to be unhappy? Is the unhappiness worth sticking around for the chance that things will go back to the way they were?
