Hmmm..... I don't think you're overreacting. Your reaction is a reaction, and you felt creeped out by it. That's your right. Personally, I don't think that the subject matter he raised is creepy. He has a right to his own opinions, as does everyone, and I have heard this viewpoint before, though I know to some it may seem out there and extreme. What is a little concerning is that he almost created a fight over it and ignored the social cues to drop the subject. Clearly he is deeply passionate about his viewpoint, to the point of perhaps having tunnel vision. This can happen sometimes with issues we are most passionate about.

So you have never witnessed similar behavior in the last 10 months?

I would raise the issue with him and see what he says. Perhaps point out that it almost created a fight, which made you uncomfortable, and that everyone wanted to drop it but him... just approach it with him and see what he says. Perhaps you will shed some light on the level of discomfort he created through his passionate viewpoint.

I'm curious.. why do you feel such pain over this incident? Not judging or criticizing at all, just wondering what is causing you pain. (((Hugs)))) If you are questioning his character, it could just be a one off incident. Are you questioning the relationship too at this point?
