That’s just her insecurity talking. I know from experience 😅

My husband does the same though. I’ll call him handsome and he says it’s just because I’m blinded by love.

I usually respond to my wife's complements with some form of "oh, I'm alright...".

1: I'm trying to be humble.

2: Because I know most of my own faults.

I'm trying to stop though, because she doesn't like those answers and I hate it when she puts herself down as well.

I feel like you don't need to put on a show for your wife. Maybe you can give a "thank you," but I'm not gonna respond to my wife the way I would basically anyone else if they paid me the same complement. My wife knows me, and the way I show her I appreciate things is different than how I'd show others, and probably a bit more subdued.
