I need someone neutral to tell me if I handled this badly.

This happened after a friend's warning. This is about my partner and the friend who dislikes them. The problem was that my friend accused my partner of something, and I repeated their words during our argument instead of saying what I actually felt.

I repeated the accusation like it was my own, then acted like I was only asking questions.

The warning mixed an old grudge with one real detail. My friend now keeps asking what my partner said. I am scared to say it now because I waited too long.

I hate that I dragged my friend into our argument. Am I making this bigger than it is?
