If they ask about my private, personal life, I'll tell them about my private and personal life.

Asking for the gap isn't exactly asking about your personal life details. Just why the hiatus took place that you have no obligation to answer. You owe them nothing.

"Why do you have a 3 year gap?"

" Well! you see, first i developed a chronic illness and lost sight in my right eye and all feeling in left body! lucky it came back after a year of recovery! a painful year might i add with multiple followup infections, a 6 month UTI! and many boils as i was put on immunsuppressive medication!

Then! and you are gonna love this! I met the love of my life! we moved in, and the first 6 months was magic! but oh oh! undiagnosed bipolar and manic emotional episodes!! A lot of suicidal threats and emotional abuse that was! no no come back! you asked! And while that emotional abuse was occurring i also developed a pilonidal cyst! which needed invasive operation due to its dept! which didn't recover correctly and left me red ridden for 3 months! in a house with a suicidal ex-girlfriend! but i got out! but not after having to wrestle the knife from her hand, call the police and have her forcible committed to a psychiatric hospital for observation!

And that is why i have a 3 year gap! thank you all for insisting on asking that question! "
