Cautiously optimistic

[~¤DG¤~]

Am I being overly sensitive for feeling a little bit put off by the fact that H hasn't told anyone that we have been communicating?
His family and friends have no idea. He has always been a private person and has never aired his dirty laundry and for the most part I know that.
But what's wrong with saying "We're separated but communicating." When people ask?

It makes me feel like he's ashamed or embarrassed.
When I tried to tell him that he said he doesn't want people's opinions or advice so he'd rather keep his mouth shut.

Thoughts?
