It’s not like you were discussing concept of marriage.
You were talking about your plans or accomplishments or hopes and dreams. They bring up they are lucky to have a husband. Annoying

Right?!? It was rude and quite hurtful and mean, I felt.
I spoke with another girlfriend this morning about this friend and what she had said to me. This girlfriend told me she doesn't go to this other female friend for any kind of empathy about issues she's facing in her life. She says she limits the topics she speaks of with her.
I felt it was definitely off topic & directed at me. I felt she was lashing out at me for something that is missing in her own life. I don't think she is particularly happy in her life and is envious of me feeling happy and pursuing something I am passionate about. She is a data security professional - how absolutely boring.... I would die if I had to work in that field, and I know that my friend is not passionate about this industry.
