He went up to check the closet where I had gotten the batteries, and I felt my stomach tighten


Stomach tighten? Why? Did you "expect" him to yell or something?

As hairdog wrote... what DOES he keep in that closet? Is it "his" closet or a shared one? He got really defensive and sensitive after you mentioned the closet. If he's like most men, he has stuff that he doesn't want you to see, either because he'd be embarrassed or he'd have lots of explaining to do. Good luck keeping your cool with THAT one.
