Or if you don't care, just let her ramble till people start to wonder if she is talking sense. In short, never let anyone control how you feel. You and you alone have control over your life!

                Feelings are one thing... how we deal with it is another. 😞
                The tricky thing about marriage is we're not just marrying
                the fella... it is also about the union of two families. It will
                always be a sensitive issue, especially if the husband is
                utterly close to the family.... he will take offence that u
                claim his family is the one carrying tales.

                  I personally prefers to practice (A) initially but if that fella gets overboard I will choose (C).

                  Not that I'm a coward but more like experiences tells me that too many times the culprit will deny and there is nothing much u can do... 😞 This is especially true if she is \"supposingly\" :roll: yr close one 😢

                    I will ignore, but if it offends or reveals secrets i’ll choose (b), and when i do that, it’s not really the dude’s best day…

                      Depends on who is the "someone".


                      I am (usually) non-confrontational. So, if the someone is a "friend or acquaintance", i will keep a distance. Afterall, people who gossip behind your back can’t be regarded as "friends" so stop loss, stop the friendship!

                      If the someone is MIL, this is tricky. Worse when it comes to MIL+SIL (deadly concoction!!!)
                      I guess the best way to avoid friction with ILs is still to stomach their nonsense & maintain a distance. No point confronting & souring relations further. Hubby will be caught in-between & in the longer term, this will strain the marriage. And no way am I gonna allow my ILs to sow "discord" in my marriage!

                        Agree with Maisy. I'm a victim of MIL's slander and gossip too. No point confronting the MIL. She would deny anyway. Since I cannot stop her mouth from uttering 'rubbish' or 'poison', I have to change the way I would react to her gossip so that it won't affect me too much. Yeah, not easy. I'm still learning.
