An Informal Survey

So I would like to take an informal survey...

If someone who you were close to said some very hurtful (not to mention untrue) things about you, and you found out by accident (the person saying them had no reason to believe that you would ever know what was said), do you still have the right to be upset? Or is it your own fault for finding out things you weren't supposed to know?

If you weren't asking around about it, or prying, or trying to find out, I don't see how it could be your fault if someone came up to you and reported it to you without being asked. Of course you'd be upset.

That happened to me about a year and a half ago -- and I wasn't prying, I was just told -- and what really made me furious was that people (relatives!) who should know better than that actually believed it.
