Ledgem is on the money.

I'm just going to add that therapy can help a lot, and he should seek it out. As you've said, he shouldn't be giving across "false" enthusiasm. Try to find out what things he feels particularly depressed about. (Also, how about sex? I think insufficient sex and intimacy and physical intimacy can often contribute to depression, and that's a problem in long distance relationships)

Also, if I were you, I'd certainly try to broaden your own social horizons. Not necessarily to date other people, but you should try to maneuver yourself into a position where you are choosing to spend time with him, but that you aren't dependent upon him for socialising.

Likewise, he should be your boyfriend because you choose for him to be your boyfriend, not because he's the only possibility.
