writes: I am a married woman who has developed a strong friendship with a work colleague. Things were progressing well - we would talk about our lives - me about my marriage and he about his past relationships and also about our work woes. I realised that talking about my marriage was not appropriate and I told him so and since then he has been acting very withdrawn. Whats that all about? I miss talking to him.

If you two are so close, and he seems comfortable talking about your marriage, then what's the problem? We all need someone to talk to. He might feel that since you've revoked his privilege to listen to your problems, maybe you no longer want to listen to his, or that you're trying to cool off your friendship with him. Perhaps you just need to explain to him that while there are certain details that would be better kept private, you still value his friendship and want to be there for him.
