I hope you get to where you can see the humor in it soon.
As for your friends saying you "shouldn't" be upset, what does that mean? If you are upset, then you should be upset -- what you feel is what you feel. Emotions just are, there's no right or wrong to it.
My guess, not knowing your friends, is that they didn't know how to help, except to say, "Oh, don't be upset, he's not worth it." That's not so unusual, but it's also not helpful. I'm sorry your friends weren't able to find something more helpful, but I'm pleased that they seem to care about you enough to want to comfort you -- even if they didn't quite know how.
I'm sorry that this happened to you. It sounds very upsetting, and I hope you have a chance to grieve for your relationship, so that you can move forward.
Good luck.
