[quote=Anonymous]I don't think asking someone a question like that is "bullying."  If you think so, you are probably overly sensitive.  Seriously.  People are asking because they want you to tell them if the warning signs were there.  Maybe they were, and you missed them.  Maybe it's totally new behavior.  (in which case, there may be an underlying cause, like an affair or a brain tumor or the emergence of a mental illness.)

You could answer, "why did you marry him?" with something like, "because he seemed like a kind person and we had similar goals and ambitions and we had great conversations. "  Or with, "because he didn't show his true colors until later in our marriage."  You don't have to take it as, "oh this person is trying to make me feel stupid."  Maybe they are genuinely curious.  Maybe they are trying to make better choices in their own relationships or they are thinking that maybe they know someone in a similar situation who could help you.

If you can't handle a question like this, I don't know how you expect to have actual conversations and friendships.  Friends talk about stuff like this.  [/quote]
