Gucci once again nails it. In my sitch one of the old "Friends" admitted that she was being fed a negative image, so she could only comment from the information she was provided. She did apologize to me later.
But don't discount the notion of "bad friends", there are "bad friends" who will attempt to wedge a relationship, just because. They don't have to have any information at all.
A real spouse would not listen to friends comments unless they know they where in an abusive or bad relationship, if not then it means the spouse is simply playing a game.
