The original poster (OP) is facing a serious rift with a close friend following a seemingly offhand remark made during a celebration.
The OP feels their comment about getting married before their friend was misinterpreted, while the friend views it as a painful reminder of past insecurities and self-worth issues, leading to a complete breakdown in communication.
