What more are you supposed to do? Rock him to sleep at night and sing him a lullaby?

He sounds very immature as though he wants a mother rather than a wife. You do plenty to comfort him - all the things that anyone would do to comfort their partner.

He has the problem in my opinion, not you. If he really feels you need to do more, he needs a therapist to work out his mommy issues.
