Like Ilya, I'm not convinced that the relationship is the issue you need be focusing on. With a 10-12 hour per day job do you at least have a day or so free on weekends? You need to take on at least one or two fun hobbies. I'd go for something that really wakes me up without taking more than a day every week or two, something you can really look forward to.
Given my inclinations, that'd be something like skydiving, paragliding, flying gliders (fairly inexpensive planes without engines, not hang gliders), Parkour, or maybe even just regular wall climbing. My brother works ~70 hours per week in Silicon Valley and has his fun skate boarding.
You need something physical to get you out of your head. Maybe even start working out a few days per week if you can (walking, jogging, riding a bike or whatever), it'll likely give you more energy and has been found to work at least as well as antidepressants. It doesn't have to be anything expensive, just find something physical that you can enjoy and that gets you out of the house.
