His reaction was basically "he sounds like an absolute loser, why are you still speaking to him?"
Later the friend apologized for such a blunt comment, but I didn't take it that way at all. It actually shocked me into realizing that he was right.
Lisa, I've been surprised by some of the comments people have made about my H when they found out. I realize that I'm only telling people that are my friends and they are the ones who are going to circle around me. Still, their comments hit home sometimes. And not one of them has said, "Wow, he was such a great guy, I hope you guys can work it out". Not one.
