Does a man's act of secrecy make a woman's act of sleuthing legal?

Hmm...sounds kinda suspicious to me too. If he has nothing to hide, why would he react in such a shockingly rude manner? And for him to dismiss you so easily every time you try to bring up the subject..hmm..I would be suspicious too. I think you should listen to your instincts. A woman's instincts are usually spot on! I do understand the part about privacy and I do agree that privacy is important and we should respect each other that way but in a relationship, openness and communication are also very important. If he's not open and willing to communicate with you and just brush you off each time, it sounds like he's trying to hide something.
