How is your family? [Limits to Friendship]

Do  you  think asking a freind  about her family can  be a  reason to dislike  
talking  to  you?

The  story  is . I  have a  freind  of  mine  for  over  three  years told  me not  to  
pm  her because  I  asked  her  how  her  family  is  doing .

we  have been  very  good  freinds  talking for  long  time.  Almost  everyday discusing  
personal affairs. Politics... religion...  jokes*..  for  fun some times etc.

We  used to  fight  for some  silly  reasons   from  time  to time   but  that was a  
part  of  our  freindship  we  used  to ,and  it  never  had any negative  effect  on  us.

She  used  to  tell me  all  her  secrets  and  and me  too .she  has a mother  who  is  
ill very  often  and I used  to stand  beside  her  with  nice words when she  is  in bad  
situation .

This was  one  of the things  I  felt was  the good thing we  had to care  for each  
other  that   I am worried  when  I  dont  hear  from  her  mother ,when  I am  busy  and  
not  online  for  3 or  more days ,so  I  Used  to  send  her sms.

This and  many  other way we  used to treat  each  other  made  us  respect and  love  
each  other so  much .

Whilst we  have  been  as  I   have  mentioned  above ,one  day we  fall out  on each  
other  as  usual .During  this peroid  her  birthday  came  ,and  I  had to wish  her  and  
sure  I  did.

Once  again  we were  back to our  freindship  , but she  seemed  changed  that she talks  
only  for few  minuts and  tell  me  she  has  to  go .I  thought she is still  mad  at  
me but again she  treats  me  the day  next very nicely that  makes me  confused.

some  times good to  me and  and some times  not.  As  things  were  like  this and  from  
my side  trying yo avoid  any  misunderstanding  to  drive   to  fight   she  surprised
me  telling  me  I am  boring  peroson  because  I  asked  her  about  her  mother  and  
family.She said  I talk about some thing she doesnt  like  to  talk  about .She  said  I
always  ask  about her  mom  and husband and  kids.Then  I said  ok  I wont  ask  you  
this  any  more .I was so suprised why she says  this .But the  other  big  surprise to me
was to  tell me  not to  pm  her  any  more .

I tried to ask why  but she  didnt  reply .She ignored me . I sent  her  an email and  
she  didnt  reply   to  me as well  .since  then  we  are  not  talking  to each  other

It seems  it  is  the end  of  our  freindship.

so  would  you  please  tell  me if  asking  her  about her family,  specially  her  
mother  is  reasonable to  cause  losing each  other  ?

Should  I  also  react the same way  by ignoring her  ?

Is  there  a  limit freinds to  reach at a  point  of  freindship expiration ? so this  
is what  happend ?

I Will  appreciate your kind  replys
Thank  you  all

anon,  

I am assuming that you are female.  If you are male and iming someone who is married then I would suggest that you don't.  Yes there are limits to friendships and sometimes they end.
