For context, I'm married and my friend is in a committed relationship, but we were each at this event solo.
I was recently at a mutual friend's birthday party. The topic of who else had birthdays coming up was raised and I stated I did. My friend started talking about a plan for my birthday and listed off the people who should come and ended the list with "and of course, your wife."
I just laughed and said of course but afterward it felt like kind of a charged moment. Like was she trying to gauge my reaction to see if I wanted my wife there or indicating that though she's making this plan, she's also reminding me I'm married and it's only friendly?
I'm a bit of an overthinker and was replaying the conversation in my head last night. I'm generally oblivious to these things anyway.
I know y'all can only speculate but I don't really want to ask around my friend group because if word gets back to anyone I'm afraid it will ruin the friendship and obviously don't want to seem like I'm flirting or something.
TL;DR Am I overthinking or is this woman into me?
Any thoughts?
