I can understand him feeling uncomfortable with it because it meant so much between him and Ed.... So instead of maybe staying quiet he deflected the situation by making it about the moral issue which then made it all seem very 'deep' and a little over the top.
I think he really felt his engagement was being ridiculed...

Yeah I think this too tbh. But he couldn't actually say this (as one can't be honest, one must make things out to be 100x worse than they are) and I expect the rubbish he was coming out with instead made sense to him at the time
