Why is everyone on this thread acting like this guy is potentially abusive when it could just as easily be an incredibly insecure woman getting upset because her boyfriend dares to have a life outside of her?

Maybe he denies he has a problem because he actually doesn't have one. Maybe he says that it's her depression talking because it's truly her depression talking. It's not a good way for him to say it at all, and he should learn how to communicate his perspective in a more sensitive way, but it's not necessarily an invalid perspective and he's not necessarily completely dismissive of her feelings.

(Keep in mind that I feel that way partially because, before he understood how detrimental it was, my husband would sometimes say the same thing. Thing is, he was absolutely 100% correct about what was going on in my head when he said it, but as anyone with depression or anxiety knows, it's not at all helpful to point that out. In fact, it can make one spiral further downward. Now that he understands this, he never says it; instead, he just listens and then waits until I'm in a better mental place to fully discuss the disagreement or issue.)
