I really want to thank all of you for your kind words. Sometimes it's hard to not think about the bad side of things.

The reason the husband relayed the story to me in the first place is because he thought it was so ridiculous he couldn't help but laugh at it. I guess I should have added that part in the first place. He really has become my best friend and we have learned to lean on each other for emotional support through this whole huge mess. I don't believe he'd ever do or say anything to hurt me -- at least not on purpose.
