I have a great marriage. But with one problem. My husband gets all … hurt when I don’t respond to his sexual flirtation. If he texts me something during the day, and I don’t respond, he’s hurt and pouts. If he leaves me a sexy voice mail and I don’t join in, same thing. I tell him that sometimes I’m just not in the mood and my head’s not there. I point out to him the other times I do respond is when I’m feeling sexy, too. I don’t know why he takes this so personally. Is there anything I can do to make him not get hurt just because I’m not in the mood? — D.L., Seattle
