Is it possible that she actually could relate to one of the things you were talking about with the other husband and wife?

For example, all these negative things flying around and then someone says 'And he even packs her a lunch every day on top of everything else!' ... then your wife chimed in ... because 'chuckle...i can relate to that one!'

This would explain why she didn't mean it the way it sounded and did not feel a need to overly apologize for it....since you say you have a sense of humor....

could be way off but is this scenario a possibility?
