I may ask about...

In Reply to: Is this right or wrong? - never been married

marital status, but would never question why, the same with children. A couple of times I have known people socially that say they don't want kids, to scared, or whatever, and then suddenly end up pregnant and find out that they had been trying for some time with bad results. I have learned not to ask.
