Hi Merrick,
I have a pet answer when people ask me how my husband and I doing.I tell them that I have decided to not talk except to my husband for now.I do this in a voice that is kind but firm.

I don't think you did any damage with what you told them.Of course I would also use these times when people ask you how you and your wife are doing to say wonderful things about her.That way when they get back to her it is a nice thing.And she won't be able to get mad.Of course that won't stop her.But in her heart she will remember.

Later Friend.
Briget
