I think exposure backfired?

[AntoniaB]

I exposed to his parents and a few mutual friends. I didn't go into tons of detail, mostly just said he was going to file for divorce and that there was an OW involved and he had no interest in trying to repair anything with me and that this had happened virtually overnight. Well a bunch of mutual fbook friends cut connections to him, and I guess a few people called him and said some things to him about it. He claimed someone said that I "smeared his name." (He smeared his own name IMHO). And so now, he's angry, very angry, at me, for telling anyone, saying why is this anyone else's business? So does that mean it backfired? He also seems very ready to "get out" asap, in that he is claiming he won't fight me on anything, that he doesn't even want furniture, that he just wants it over. Clean slate for him. Explain that.
