[quote=Anonymous]My wife is 42.  She is beautiful in the conventional sense, and I think she looks great.  Over the past few years, she has been pointing out her wrinkles, she says they have gotten worse.  This has picked up tremendously over the last few months, to the point where she says she wants to do something about it.

Being candid as we are anonymous - I can see what she is talking about, her wrinkles have become considerably more apparent.  I don't care.  Let me emphasize that again - [b]I don't care.[/b]  She looks good for her age, but if we are being honest, she looks her age.

On one hand, I am terrified she would ever have plastic surgery or do something that would make her look like one of those cheesy real housewives - they look like cartoon characters, which is sad because some of them would actually be attractive if they accepted and rocked their age.  On the other hand, I am happy to encourage her to do something that would improve her self esteem if she really needs it.

So help me out - is she looking for me to keep repeating "you look great honey, I don't think you need anything, you are being ridiculous!"  Or does she want me to say "you look great honey, but if you would feel better getting something for your wrinkles, I support you!"[/quote]
