More like playful teasing putting the ball back in her court. See IMO it was sorta a little rude for J just to ignore that statement because she was definitely expecting a response. The way I responded acknowledged that I heard her and put the ball back in her court to say "I was talking about you" or something along those lines if she was trying to bring up exclusivity. Then I would clearly ask her "are your saying you want to be exclusive with me?" You see direct and to the point and it's her idea.

I have asked the same question on the board in regards to OLD. What does it mean when a woman says I have no time for games?

It can be exhausting! I am glad you found someone you can settle down with and be happy. I hope to have that happen again someday. Not sure I will ever marry again but hope to be in a monogamous relationship again.
