" I tried to make it up to her, and she seemed to be relaxing into the evening, but then told the story, I suspect to be passive-aggressive. I had no choice, but to set limits with her."

I think boundaries would work better in a situation like this. Her behavior is not for you to dictate. She's not a child.

In a boundary, you state what you need and what you will do:

"That story makes me uncomfortable and embarrassed. If you tell it again, I will walk out of the room."
