How do I explain to my husband he complains too much?

My husband works very hard and I truly appreciate the work he does outside and inside the home.

I believe he grew up with an extremely negative mother so I’m trying my best to be understanding.

Perhaps he feels he is just sharing his feelings or communicating.

I’ve asked if there is anything more I can do to assist him and he says he is fine.

I find myself not answering his phone calls at times when I think he is going to complain.

I’m afraid if I tell him, all the complaining is draining because there is no solution, he’ll shut down and say “Fine, I wont tell you anything.”

Any suggestions on how I can communicate my feelings to him, without hurting his pride?

If you’re out and woman you don’t know walks up and asks you to take a pic of her on her phone,how would you respond ? Would you think that was her way of flirting with you? Why or why not?
