I’m still so lost

[Pattnee5]

So now should I just zip it each time he makes an “I’m so old blah blah whinged comment” instead of what I have been doing? I think I know you guys are going to say yes. Because I can see what I say doesn’t matter and the fact he keeps saying it means what I say hasn’t mattered or hasn’t helped him in anyway.
So what would you do? Just ignore the comment completely? It’s kinda fishing for validation from me of “you’re not old husband you’re so amazing and gorgeous etc blah bla” but then whatever I say just bounces right off and he drops the same comment again a few days later
(I didn’t say that btw that was just an example but I would always say “you’re not old you’re too harsh on yourself 48 isn’t even old we have another 40+ years ahead of us “ or something along those lines
