I think I accidentally asked my friend a question that was too personal…
We were just casually talking about weddings. He mentioned that he was “unhappy” at his parent’s wedding. I asked “why were you unhappy?” Then it seemed like he was caught off guard and explained all these deep seated issues he had living with a split family, growing up his parents’ relationship was on and off, then they married other people… He didn’t know what to expect in a healthy relationship…ect. To him, that marriage symbolized “the end” of his childhood. Then he said something like “wow, I didn’t expect to answer such personal questions tonight” and seemed offended, or uncomfortable. Not sure.
I thought he was going to say he was “unhappy” at the wedding cuz he was a bored little child, or he didn’t like wearing a suit, or something … Omg.
Do you think my question was too personal?
I mean he didn’t have to go so deep into the explanation… I didn’t need to know everything, I was just talking about things in general to keep the conversation going.
