Ask Amy: A grieving human might look over the rainbow
My problem is that they eavesdrop on private conversations by reading your lips. The masks many of us wear have helped to curb this, but with things (hopefully) going back to normal, I will once again have to cover my mouth when we are with this in-law.
It feels a bit rude to do this, but if I have something I want to share with my husband, there's really nothing else to do.
Do you have a better solution?

Dear Unmasking: I do have a solution for you!
My solution is fairly simple: Don’t attempt to have a personal, private, and exclusive conversation with your husband in front of other people. Ever.
That’s just rude!
Save your private thoughts for when you have privacy.
When your in-law is with you, you should include this person in your conversation.
Dear Amy: Thank you for discouraging a recent “Proud Papa” from commenting on his daughter’s body.
