Leave when you need to leave. You shouldn't have to feel like you need to make any excuses, whether they're excuses or not. Simply say something like "I have to go to "such and such place" and if you should get questioned (which they shouldn't, because then that'd be rude on THEIR part), you can simply say that you have something to take care of. Even if it's something as simple as dinner, lunch, your MIL, the cats, whatever. You don't need to explain it. I won't let people corner me into giving explanations when it's none of their business. If I want/need to go, I'll go. You are so sweet, Kristina, to worry about others thinking you are rude. But really, you do what you need to do.
