It is really hard for people who haven't been depressed to understand it. Sometimes education can help, there are lots of web sites and books. It might help if you tell him that the two of you have different ideas about depression, but that there are some things that you know are helpful and some things that aren't. Then tell him what you need as clearly as you can. No guarantees, but he's more likely to give you what you need if he knows what that is.
Join a Depression Support Group. It helps to talk to people who really do understand.
