“Why?” is a loaded question. Though it’s only one word, it carries with it a lot of baggage.
When the person hears “Why…?” the mind processes this as a question that someone asks because they cannot understand your reasoning. It can be humiliating in a way, for something that you seem to believe was the right decision at the time is now being brought into question.
It forces the one being questioned to lay out all of their thoughts and make bare their motivations, but in a way that makes them feel stupid for coming to the conclusion that they did.
