I get it, but if he really felt bad, he could've just kept that shit to himself. It was narcissistic behavior. He wanted you to know about the original opinion and he wanted you to perceive him as the good guy for owning up to it. When, if he REALLY wanted to preserve your happiness, he could've just shut the fuck up. That would've been the real sacrifice.
As fellow “married out of his leaguer,” I understand the comments.
A former co-worker once apologized to me for being an asshole by THINKING to HIMSELF that he didn’t understand why my wife was with someone like me over someone like him. I went ahead and let him know that there was no need to apologize for that because 1. I don’t know he thought those thoughts 2. The desire to tell me about it in an apology is what actually makes him the asshole.
DUDE, #2 really DOES make him an asshole. Unless he also said, "...because I can now tell why she loves you" then he was just trying slide it in there that he'd be better for her than you.
You can't just say "I'm sorry" and that absolves you of everything else you say:
"Hey, I apologize for thinking you are Jew-hating Nazi."

Oh he asked me for forgiveness for the thought he had but not for telling me about his very private thought he had.
