What word would you use to describe "not being comfortable with something or someone, yet not complaining"?
A perfect example is when you don't enjoy your partner's meal but you are not complaining. A word like acquiesce is close in meaning, but I want the best word.
Then you tolerate it. The word tolerance, from MW:
- willingness to accept feelings, habits, or beliefs that are different from your own;
- the ability to accept, experience, or survive something harmful or unpleasant.
Resigned to, from Cambridge Dictionaries Online
To make yourself accept something you do not like because you cannot change it
Example (made up):
He resigned himself to the awful lines at airport security over the Memorial Day weekend, because it was the last opportunity he would have to visit his parents before starting his new job.
While tolerate (per Matsmath) is a perfectly good answer, you might also consider more extreme examples, such as long-suffering.
There's a question of degree. Is it a little uncomfortable or a lot uncomfortable?
How about loathe?
: to dislike greatly; detest [Webster's]
Although I am loathe to sit next to the stinky kid, I can always just breathe through my mouth.
I would use "disquiet" as it adds nothing. It is an internal feeling one has when not comfortable with something.
I felt disquiet when he did not answer.
To begrudgingly accept something, perhaps.
Begrudge — ODO
- (with object) Give reluctantly or resentfully
(adverb) begrudgingly"So I begrudgingly agreed that we would cook something."
"And I begrudgingly have to admit they probably deserved to win."
I'd use Passivity.
**Passivity ** is allowing others to do things to you without complaining or pushing back.
The answer I would give disapproval. Merriam Webster defines it as
Lack of approval : the belief that someone or something is bad or wrong
