I'm not sure why you would tell the guy you'd "think it over." You could have told him then and there you are a devoted wife and have no interest in other men. My husband used to have a married friend who would hit on me in front of my husband. He'd say things like "Why don't you leave him and run away with me?" I'd laugh it off and remind him how much he loved his wife and couldn't live without her. When it became irritating, I told him "I've already made my choice, and I'm devoted to my husband - nothing you could do or say could change my mind - you're wasting your time." He finally let it go.
I knew he wasn't completely serious because he said it in front of my husband, but I did not expect my husband to "handle" the matter. If the man had come to me in private, I would have easily said the same thing without having to get my husband involved or destroying his friendship with the man.
If I were you I would go back to your husband's friend and set him straight by telling him you didn't need any time to "think it over" because you are completely devoted to your husband. If your husband finds out about the incident, he'll only hear of your devotion.
