Somehat Silly, Re: Snooping

I am dating someone who I've dated on and off for 6 years, for several months, non-exclusively at this point. We stopped at his place yesterday afternoon for about a half hour - he shares a place with his sister, who was not there. All of this is just background. On his dining room table was a large plastic shopping bag from a store. It wasn't closed but it wasn't wide open such that you could just peek in. I know he went to that store the day before. While he was out of the room, I peeked in the bag - pushed aside the part of the bag leaning in and looked and saw something on top that concerned me as far as our relationship - however, it had nothing to do with whether he is trustworthy and it is not something he should have told me about under any definition. There was nothing "shocking" about it.
So my question is, did I snoop or since the bag was right there and mostly open it was ok to peek in? I think that I snooped (since the item was in a bag and not just laying out on the table), and so I did not say anything to him and do not plan to, although it is difficult. I should add that although the snooping issue really has never come up for either of us I know that he probably has a broad definition of snooping.
Wow - got longer than I expected - I am really just curious whether you think I snooped. Thanks and hapy president's day.

As for whether or not you snooped, technically yes, but I don't think it really did any harm. Don't feel silly, we've all snooped at some time in some way.
I'm dying of curiosity - you're not going to tell us what you found? :) Hope everything is okay?
Are you going to confess and ask him about what you found?
Hope that everything works out, and you can keep it on the hush-hush from your date!
The funny part is - my being moody didn't pique his curiosity as to "why" - after 6 years of knowing me he has seen me be moody at the drop of a hat (although much much less in the last 6 months) so he probably figured "oh just Deena being moody again" - LOL.
What if it was his sisters bag?
I know it was not K's bag because (1) K was away for the weekend and wouldn't leave it lying out on the table like that; and (2) he had told me he went to that store the day before so it made sense to me; and (3) K would not buy this item (not it was not a male type item ;-)
