Struggling to understand the difference between irony and unfortunate events. My partner is quite smart and I don’t want to make a fool of myself.
EDIT – Thanks everyone, your responses have really helped. Hopefully I’ll be less likely to make a fool of myself describing something as ironic, in the future.

My favorite example of irony is the Alanis Morrissette song “Ironic” which is all about unfortunate events but nothing really ironic. Which, in a way, makes the song perfectly ironic.
