Okay, question for a friend?

I'm asking this to prove something. I have a friend, she had a male friend who, has a daughter. Now, he had mentioned he didn't carry a picture of his child around, because it hurt when people started asking a lot of questions. He can't see his child.

A few days ago, she was distressed about something, and brought up his child. The next day she realized she hurt him. He said she 'betrayed his trust'.

Now, is this her fault? He never mentioned he didn't want her to touch the subject of his daughter. In my eyes, it's on him for not saying "Hey, this subject hurts me, can you not bring it up?"

She's blaming herself for not knowing by him not carrying a picture of his kid around. Should she?

    He should have laid out the ground rules regarding mentioning his daughter. Sounds like he is being extra sensitive!!! If that is the biggest thing to ever happen in his life, he doesn't have too much to worry about.

    I'm going to have to go with the guy on this one. He already stated it was a sore topic and that it hurt when people asked about it.
