I'm thinking you are in a very toxic environment. Nothing you say or do is going to be okay with, it appears, your FIL or husband. They have formed their opinions about you, and I doubt they are going to change. Short of a huge change, I would guess it's not going to get better/different.

No you're not. When you've worked things out with your MIL, if she wants to explain to her husband, she can.
You just keep being you.
Sounds like someone is an asshole, but not you!

No, never you JLP. I agree with what someone else said, keep the mil up to date, and she can fill in the fil if he is so curious.

@JaggedLittlePill Well we all have our moments from time to time, and that is ok. In this instance though, you are not being an asshole, if the fil wants to know everything then let the mil fill him in. There is no reason for you to take on other's bullshite, or feel bad about this incident, you did nothing wrong. Hang in there.😊

No. Your husband should be supporting you, and not allowing his dad to run all over him.

@chrisCA yep. We left the house twice on sunday and got questioned both times.

Where are we doing our taxes.

My husband left and he got questioned too. This man thinks he is allowed to know everything in our lives.

Sounds like your FIL has always been a control freak. That's why your husband refuses to take a stand. No, your not the asshole here.

I can understand it gets annoying if your FIL keeps asking about all your whereabouts.

Not sure if he realises it :/

Why is your MIL & FIL so involved in everything?

@IAmJess because we live with them. Another issue that i cannot stand. But also. People work and need help when they have children. My husband should be picking up the slack but he is inept as well. I literally do everything.
