Your mother-in-law has a right to gossip and you have a right to say you don't want to hear it.

How do you know? Do people tell you? Or is this just a suspicion?

If people tell you, then say to them, "If she says that about me, it makes you wonder what she tells people about you, doesn't it?" So you're not saying anything against her, you're just getting people to think.

Look, you can't really do anything about what she says. Just don't give her any fuel. Don't tell her your personal business, and ask your spouse to do the same. If she says, "Why didn't you tell me that?" then you can say, "I'm sorry, but I know you like to gossip, and I don't like my business shared with others."

All you can do is live your life in such a way that people will know she's hateful and they won't think her words are true about you.

I agree 100% with Katherine. I would have advised you the same thing. 👍
