Something doesn't sound right there. She's got issues but maybe they're from her past. (Just speculating) She may have been remembering that saying something even benign about someone else backfired on her with someone else saying "She said this about him."

Inotherwords, I would give her the benefit of the doubt that it's just old baggage that didn't apply in this situation but she was feeling cautious anyhow.

I guess you could say something like, "Well I wouldn't consider you telling me what you thought as talking behind his back but I respect your right to keep your opinion to yourself."

WOW, makes you wonder if they aren't getting alone right now? Never heard of a comment like that from a spouse.

I'm wondering if she didn't say something that got her in trouble with your Dad and they had an argument about it. She may just be a little gunshy about saying anything in case it gets back to your Dad.

Unless you can think of something you may have said to someone that got back to she or your father and SM is being sarcastic? If not, I'd go with the above reason. Why didn't you ask about it after she said it?
