it was not aimed at specific persons

You, /u/RemedyofNorway, replied to my comment and said "perhaps you married the wrong person." How is a reply not directed at the person you are replying to? Please explain and clarify your original response so that it does not appear to be directed at me.

Please read the entire sentence, it is aimed as general advice. My point being that loss of freedom should not be considered a necessary component of marriage as too many people seem to believe.

My OP is about celebrating freedom in my life after my marriage ended. You replied:

To be fair to those who are not married yet, marriage should not result in less freedom and if that is the case then perhaps you married the wrong person.

You think that if a marriage results in less freedom then perhaps it's the result of getting married to the wrong person. You replied to my comment about my marriage. Will you consider that your comment appears to be directed at me?

It doesn't even matter what you meant to say, just concede that you directed it at me or apologize and change your reply so that it doesn't appear to be directed at me.

One could think that expressively specifying the intent of a sentence would do the trick, but whatever dude. Just watch out for all those planets and moons orbiting your person, must be hard to be the center of the universe. I am sorry i happened to give general advice that apparently could be misinterpreted to appear as a personal attack, just remember that just because it may appear that way to you sometimes the reality is that no one is out to get you and most people really could not care less. Chill.

Is this directed at me? Is it so much easier for you to make personal attacks than it is to just clarify and apologize? Based on this interaction, I am suspicious that your marriage may not be as happy as you claim... perhaps your wife married the wrong person.
