Taking a psychology course does not make someone a psychologist - or a mind reader - etc. If she had actually gotten some understanding of human nature out of the course, she would have figured out that you want to be left alone by now. So obviously the psychology course is irrelevent.
2. Stop tiptoeing around the issue and stop worrying about hurting her feelings. You're not intentionally going to hurt her feelings, of course, but you do need to be honest and just say, "I know we have discussed personal subjects in the past, but I do not want to do that anymore. I need more privacy."
3. If necessary, you can do the good cop/bad cop thing and say, "Listen, I'd talk about that if I could, but I have a new agreement with my husband. No more discussing personal issues with anyone outside the family. He doesn't ilke it. So... what are you making for dinner?" |
Very wise words. I agree with everything you wrote.
Now can you take off your mask and take the credit??
