I’m glad it helped, MP.
I’m wondering if the following is acceptable to you when encountering any uncomfortable question:
-“I appreciate your interest, but I prefer not discussing it now”
-answer humorously. E.g., “I’ll tell you what my father DOESN’T do…dishes and windows!”
-change the subject
-turn the conversation back to the “yente” and ask questions about them. Many times people like this love to talk about themselves.
Hope this helps.
