So secretive, or am I nosey?

been with my partner for 2 years. Ive never met any of his friends apart from one we met at a car show but even then my partner did his best to keep us apart. I've never met his family, we were supposed to be going to a party at his aunts but he kept 'mixing up' the dates, pretending (i assume) that he didnt know when it was and then cancelled our appearance altogether. He swears blind now that it was all a genuine mistake and he really wanted me to go and meet everyone .

He's seen lots of my old photos, from childhood, old family pics, even pics I took myself as a teenager, I've seen nothing of his past at all apart from one photo that was taken at university about 4 years ago. Whenever I ask he says there is no way I'll ever see them as he's too "embarrassed" by them.

He's never invited me to his house, he says its because he's ashamed of it, its a mess as his parents never tidy up, I said my house is a mess, I dont care and he said his is much worse....

Whenever I try and talk about his family he changes the subject and gets moody, when I ask why he says its because he doesnt like talking about them and I should respect that, I asked why he doesnt like talking about them and he says its because he would much rather me meet them and ask my questions to their faces rather than through them??? that just sounds stupid...

So is he being too secretive or am I being too nosey?

You'll only know the answer to that one if he actually does organise something, and doesn't start to fob you off with more excuses every time he fails to sort it out.

did you manage to call into his work to see him?
