[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s irresponsible to gossip about other people’s lives and then try to make character judgments on your *spouse* when they participate in the fun catty gossip that we all get to indulge in as a part of marriage.

Either your home is a safe space for that kind of commentary (which I think you want it to be since you brought up her trip to Vegas unasked), or it’s not and you shouldn’t gossip at all.

Your marriage is more important than whether some random friend is making good life choices or not. Priorities, lady![/quote]

OP wasn't gossiping about the friend - based on her post, she was telling her husband because she thought it was a good thing that her friend was going on a trip. And then her husband reacted to the story like an AH. Kind of like you. [/quote]
It’s benign gossip to comment on your friend’s activities at all.

I guess he was just supposed to say nothing or something bland (like Oh, that’s nice honey; or repeat OP’s own same opinion back to her), in which case, what’s the point of having a two person conversation? [/quote]

Yes.  This is how normal people talk.  You just kind of say what’s on your mind and talk about what happened during your day. 
I just had a conversation with my husband this morning and as part of it I told him that our neighbor’s dad died.  He said, “Oh, that’s really sad.”  He echoed my opinion back to me.  It was totally fine.
