My husband and I live in a part of the country where there is not a large Mormon presence. People generally do not understand what Mormonism is, and will often think it is the FLDS. He never tells anyone that his family is Mormon or that he used to be a Mormon. I don't tell anyone either. Even my/our closest friends do not know.
His family has never had a relationship with me because they "do not know if I am evil." They have a lot of issues, so it's probably better for me that I don't have to spend time with them. I don't think they work for satan, but I also don't have a high opinion of them.
My husband and I work together, so a lot of people know us as a couple. Occasionally, people will ask about his family (usually in small talk). His is related to the language skills he developed during his Mission, so people will often ask me about his language history.
It makes me really uncomfortable when people ask me about his family. I also don't have good explanations about how he learned the language.
Does anyone have suggestions of good responses to respond to these types of questions without getting defensive?
