Why do you seem more upset about how this colleague feels, over what you’re potentially doing to your family.. and to his family too?

If you can’t even spare a sentence to cover how what you’ve done and are obsessing about will effect them, then you’re too far gone to give advice to.

I can see your point, but if 3 ppl were talking about kids and marriage then 1 leaves, how is it invasive to continue said convo? Asking if she had kids was a natural progression in the ongoing conversation. If she wasn't comfortable continuing said conversation she could have, speaking as someone who has worked retail/c.s. for over 2 decades and as others have mentioned, deflected the (perceived personal) question(s) by changing the subject or given OP vague answers.

It's what you have to do as a customer facing employee; keep it friendly but not too personal/specific
