As far as his side. Only he can know what felt hurtful to him, you can ask him about that though, I mean if he's prepared to talk about it.

Thank you so much for validating my feelings. Yes, an apology does not fly entirely or fully resolve it. I will bring it up to him at another time, when the time is right. But yeah, that comment made me feel as though no other man would ever want me, which was his intention, I do believe. He used my condition as a weapon against me. Now that I’m focused on that, I’m even more hurt…. Insulted and livid.
