"The closer and more confidential our relationship with someone, the less we are entitled to ask about what we are not voluntarily told"

This quote by Louis Kronenberger recommends that the more intimate and close our relationship is with somebody, the less we have the right to pry into their individual affairs. To put it simply, as our relationship with somebody ends up being more trusting and personal, we need to appreciate their privacy and not feel entitled to know everything about them. This could be viewed as a pointer to keep borders and not violate in our relationships, along with a pointer to trust and respect the choices of those we are close to. It highlights the significance of shared trust and understanding in any relationship.
