Yes and to be honest questions that I resent and don't wanna answer.. Example...

Bomb dropped. Me emotional. I want and need a night away. I arrange babysitting. Babysitter was MIL. MIL calls wife before me. Wife calls and says "Whats going on"? I say I am going out. She says "Oh I did not know that my mom called me". I indicated I was going to let her know but MIL beat me to it. Next question becomes with who? I honestly at that point felt I had no obligation to tell her who. I said "I am just going out I don't feel I owe you an explination" That rolls into you are going out with another woman arent you. Which was followed by me hanging up.

In hindsight if I had just said I am going with X things would have been better.

Anytime I "back off" "Give Space" this is what I get. I have told her I could stand in the corner put my hands in my pockets. Jam my nose in the corner and she will still find something wrong with that.

But to answer your question with no fluff, Yes
