So, I met a woman with her daughter at a local group in my area and we got to talking about various things including the school districts in our area. Anyway, I wasn't sure if she had other children, so I casually asked if it was just the 3 of them, "you, your daughter and your husband?" And she responded, "just me, my daughter and my partner, Jessica." I was concerned that I may have offended her for assuming that she was heterosexual and married to a male, but then I thought if I apologized to her for my assumption, that might make her feel even more awkward. So, I opted to just continue on with the conversation as normal, like as if a model tripped on the catwalk and just continued with her walk as if she never tripped. How would you have handled it? Do you think that was a good course of action? She was really nice and I enjoyed our conversation and we'll be seeing each other at the next class but I don't want her to feel alienated by me at all.
