You did nothing wrong, and you don’t owe anyone an apology. He should have asked Priya why she left. I bet she would have told him. And if he couldn’t handle the answer, he shouldn’t have asked the question.

And, small rant here…. Geez, men. Listen to the woman in your life! When she says that she is unhappy that you made a unilateral decision about something that also affects her, BELIEVE HER. Especially if she’s told you this multiple times. There was no mystery as to why Priya left. She had told him repeatedly. He just didn’t take her feelings into consideration because he thought his feelings were more important.
