How do you handle an incessant talker?

My bigger point was that my MIL asks so many questions that there is not air space.
My example was her lack of support for me married to her ill S and I am doing something nice for him yet being questioned.
After 30 yrs together, gonna guess she no longer needs to have an opinion much less critique a kindness.
But! back to the topic. Recently had friends for dinner and the wife went off on her favorite topic and we all sat there silently. Basically, what I have realized, is that I am not so much irritated with people like her as that I end up not liking myself. Hope that makes some kind of sense…but don’t we mostly like the people who bring out the best in our very own self. A monologue person does not make me feel kind or generous.
