I think he means what he says to you but is confused.

A cognitive behavioural therapist might be able to help him identify what it is that makes him feel this way. it might be a fear of getting older, feeling unattractive - it could be anything. If he can recognise that there is a problem and that you are there to help then that would be a HUGE first step. I think you need to see it as not a slight against you or something wrong with you and him, but a problem with him and his head. Like an illness.
