Jamie's "Group Therapy":
Dear Jamie, At a party recently, I overheard my husband talking with a group of guys about their wives. He started telling stories about me that made me sound controlling, demanding, and difficult, but the stories were heavily exaggerated, and some of what he said were outright lies. I confronted him later and he told me he was just trying to fit in with the conversation and bond with the other husbands. He insists he doesn't actually feel that way about me and he's very happy in our marriage, but I’m still hurt that he was willing to throw me under the bus to get a few laughs. I asked him to apologize and tell his friends he exaggerated, but he refuses because he thinks it would make him look like a fool and only serve to prove that I’m overbearing. His solution is to just stop talking about me when he's with his friends. To me, that doesn't address the fact that those people now have a completely false impression of me. Am I making too much of this? - Anna
