DP has a longlasting injury to his back which sometimes affects his mobility and gives him a lot of pain, day in day out sort of thing. There is a big scar there too. None of this bothers me, but he won't tell me how it happened, only that it was an 'accident'. I think he did it about 15 years ago. The other day it was quite bad, and I asked him to tell me how it happened. He wouldn't say anything other than that it was an accident. I pushed him on it (shouldn't have done) and made him cry . He still wouldn't tell me what happened, only that it was an accident, he was lucky and other people weren't so lucky.
Now I'm thinking I shouldn't have asked and should just settle for never knowing what happened. But it was clearly a big deal and quite traumatic, so maybe it would be good for him to talk about it?
