AITAH because I (35m) am thinking of splitting with my wife (35f) because of a drunk comment?

My wife and I have been together for 14 years with one child, but have been friends since we were young teens. We went to dinner at a friends house (child free event) and had quite a bit to drink when the topic of my wife’s ex boyfriend came up. Who I obviously knew too. We still sometimes see him because of mutual friends. They split because of his drug addiction when they were 19 and my wife and I got together a year after. In this conversation our friend said it’s very disappointing to see how bad he’s doing. My very drunk wife replied how she begged him to get off the drugs and how hard it was that he chose drugs over her and if he didn’t they’d still be together. I didn’t say anything at the time because none of us were in the right frame of mind so I kept quiet. But it has shattered my world. The next day my wife could see I was quiet so I told her what she said and how this has made me question our entire relationship as I always felt like the second choice. She has now locked herself in the bedroom and is giving me the silent treatment. We didn’t even have a conversation because she straight away locked herself away. I think I want to end our marriage over this. I have a million thoughts in my head and I don’t understand how she is giving me the silent treatment. AlTAH?
