NC for this. Super-gossipy doom-mongering stbMIL's latest message to me is about how 'hurt' she was to see DP upset after she walked in after a disagreement between him and me. DP is not a little flower and doesn't need any 'protection' from anyone, so the idea is a real joke. Our insignificant row was private and has all blown over but she is aching to find out what it was about.
DP is all for writing to her (and FIL, who enables her) to tell them to back off with their relentless nosiness, especially as there is a family event soon where she will get centre stage to say what she wants because we won't be there. I think a letter will make no difference at all and that she will do what she wants and put whatever spin she likes on what happened. She would love to break it to everyone that our relationship is in trouble, when the truth is very far from it.
I replied to the message just saying that I didn't believe she meant to be rude or chastising, and that I was prepared to let it go. She hasn't replied to that. I think it has changed our relationship with her because I no longer trust her, and she could go into overdrive with her backbiting because to her knowledge is power and she tries to gather private information relentlessly with no shame at all. She just asks me anything that comes into her head and I can't stand it.
I really really want to elope!
