Well, he was a dope for not telling her about the past, especially since everyone knew and she was bound to find out. And for him to get butthurt and accuse her of a lack of trust when he’s been keeping secrets from her is a typical male defense when they feel guilty (I know because I’m a guy and have seen it all my life, and even caught myself starting to do it). At the same time, it was a really nice story, and he wasn't an arrogant idiot blinded by his own testosterone.
