Yes, Common courtesy. Sounds to me as if something is up. Especially if he can not simply let you know what he was doing, sounds like maybe he his hiding something.
Let me ask you a question. Do you bug him a lot. Do you phone lots, do you try to keep lots of tabs on him?
Sounds like he has a chip on his shoulder. When one person stops to communicate there is a problem somewhere. If both of you do not communicate then when communication lacks there becomes big problems.
You have tried talking to him. About him just thinking that your being nosey is a cop out. I think he is hiding something, did you ever tell him that is the impression you get when he says those things to you?
Yes, again common courtesy and if he can not give you common courtesy then you need to nip it in the bud. Tell him exactly how you feel, that you would like to talk to him. How you feel it that common courtesy is important and keeping the lines of communication open.
Also it is a two way street, if your asking him to do this but do not do that yourself then do not expect him to listen to you. Well even if you do he might not anyway. If he does not tell him it is a two way street and that you want him to show you the courtesy.
