Keeping boundaries is good for relationships, keeping boundaries gently is even better for relationships. And I think you massively overestimate how curious people are about other people's history. | |

People usually remember what they asked and remember that the question was ignored and sidestepped. The fact that they do not repeat and press for it does not mean that they forgot the question. They will easily find out the answer to the original question even without OPs involvement and would be more curious why is this a big deal. Joking around (especially with those types of jokes) would make OP look even weirder. | |
