I just have to say I am so impressed - you are doing fantastic!! The hardest part for me was (is) to not get pulled back into those kind of conversaitons. That in and of itself is outstanding on your part. But, then to not even let it impact you that he is gossiping about you to your friends - that deserves a big applause! AND add that - you are not even buying into questioning your friends about what he says, etc.. bravo! You are a excellent example of working a plan and sticking to a boundary!!! YAY!!! I could use a lesson or two from you for sure!!
