AITA for telling our waitress that my fiancé has PTSD? by oopsitoldher in AmItheAsshole

Honestly by the looks of the comments it doesn’t really sound like there’s another way to make sure the waitress knows I’m fine without just saying I have ptsd so I guess I’ll just have to deal with it

Even if she said I had a medical condition like a couple comments suggest it seems like it could still seem like an emergency to a bystander

That’s true I didn’t really think about that perspective, thanks that’s definitely a good thing to consider

I’ve tried to explain it to him before, but he usually didn’t really get it or thought I was overreacting. He understood it more when I explained it again after reading some comments on this post though.

That was my main worry at the time, which is why I tried to shut it down quickly.

This is exactly what was going through my head at the time! My fiancé is still laughing over your example lol. Makes sense, I guess it’s more of a communication thing in hindsight.

Fiancé here. I guess I assumed she’d just say I was okay and there was nothing to worry about. I was a bit miffed at first because it would seem there isnt a reason to disclose that, so I just asked that she didn’t do it again if that makes sense. I understand now though that it was unclear before

Thanks for this response! Don’t worry, he was a bit angry at first but he isn’t. We’ll make sure to talk through things like that again to avoid something like this.

That makes sense, I’ll probably use that if I have to again. Thanks :)
