Maybe have some better boundaries, the world is not made of "soft people" like another dopey poster said, it's full of people living another life and facing another reality with their loved ones. Some people don't like boundaries and personal questions. Some are assholes.

That is why you vet who you have heavy conversations about personal relationships & families with. Read the room better, act more reserved in public.

He asked her how long she has been married to her wife and if she had a nice honeymoon AFTER the topic as brought up by her and another customer. OP didn't do anything but be courteous.

Maybe Ashley isn't very confident in/is embarrassed by her sexuality and gets overly defensive when people bring up her wife.

Yeah. Again we have had nothing but pleasant interactions previously. Joking and similar surface small talk. I would see if I asked her was she happy in her marriage or something along those lines. She would have every right to implode on me in that case.

I understand and would agree if I had not stated in my post that Ashley has asked me personal questions previously. I also stated the questions I asked were in context of the three way conversation with the other customer. I just don’t go randomly talking strangers heads off about personal matters.

I would say I read the room fine all things considered. Hence the reason why the situation took me off guard. I have no problem admitting I was wrong or out of line. However, I don’t think this situation calls for that.
