Sounds good that she is opening up to you. My W has yet to give me reasons for her feelings. Some of your W statements you can do nothing about other than being supportive.
38 years old is way too young to think she is getting old. My W has said the same things. She talks about her wrinkles (very minor forehead wrinkles that everyone has), her age, MY spot of grey (she says if I have grey hair then it is just a matter of time before she has it). It all seems silly to me but they are obviously real concerns for her that I try to not dismiss.
W also really wants to find a new job to "support herself". Good luck PF.
