Unreasonable of someone

Hi

Are these structures natural English?

It's very unreasonable of him to want to stay here with us. It would simply be a murder of our privacy.

Is it unreasonable of me to want to hide that ugly truth?

It was very unreasonable of you to get up and leave like that.

Thanks,

Tom

They all seem possible to me, though perhaps some more adequate words could be used instead of 'unreasonable'. For instance, I' d probably choose 'inconsiderate' in the first. Also, you don't need the article before 'murder' .
