Oh, I don't know about that.  Couples, gay or straight, can go 
through tough and trying times when things aren't working out and 
neither side seems to be able to communicate to the other. And, in 
the case of Sirius and Remus, in OoP they may have been trying to 
put things back together after having spent well over 10 years 
apart.  I would think they'd have a lot of baggage to deal with 
which couldn't be dealt with and put behind them quickly. If Sirius 
was unsure of where they stood, and Remus, not being one to wear his 
emotions on his sleeve, was not always forthcoming about his 
feelings, plus was absent on Order business, then I think this could 
add to Sirius' depression.

I'm in whole-hearted agreement with Betsy's post. For my part, 
thinking these two are/were lovers just rings true in how the 
characters feel to me, if that makes any sense.  Should JKR torpedo 
this ship, so be it.  But I wouldn't be at all surprised if she 
leaves the door open.
