What did he mean by “thanks for not putting me out”?

[Anonymous]

So my husband took a mental health break and everyone was worried about him. He didn’t wanna be bothered by anyone. I was the only person that knew where he was. I told everyone that he is alive and not dead, he’s doing okay. People thought something happened to him. He told me “thanks for not putting me out”.

Hmm, from the context it sounds like by "putting me out" he meant publicly sharing private details about his situation without his consent. Even though you were just trying to let folks know he was alright, putting any information about his mental health break out there could feel exposing to him.

It seems like he appreciated that you didn't go into specifics or gossip about his personal business when updating others. Just a simple "he's safe" was enough to ease worries without airing his private issues. Even though you meant well, mental health stuff can be really personal, you know?

So I'm guessing the "thanks for not putting me out" was his way of saying thanks for respecting his privacy. You let people know the important things - that he's alive and okay overall. But kept the intimate details just between you guys like he needed. That's probably why he's grateful, cuz you looked out for him and respected his boundaries too. Make sense?

As long as you both understand each other now, I'm sure it's all good between you guys. Big ups to you for being so supportive of him through a tough time! Communication is key.

Thank you so much! Nope I didn’t put no specifics no personal details at all! It was nobody business. As a wife, I moved a large part of that stress and got them fake people out of here. He’s proud of me

Whoa for real? Dang you're definitely wife of the year for how you handled that whole situation then! Props to you for keeping things on the down low and not blabbing any details to anyone. Like you said, it wasn't really anybody else's business where he went anyway. You took his privacy super serious.

And getting rid of all the fake people bugging and stressing him out, that was clutch too. Sometimes friends and family just make things worse when you're going through something personal, even if they mean well. Good for you for clearing all that extra drama outta the way so he could focus on feeling better in peace.

It's no surprise he's proud of you! I would be too if my girl had my back like that. You really came through for him when he was struggling. It takes a really caring person to respect someone's space and privacy the way you did. You're obviously a real one for how you stayed loyal to your man during a tough time. He's a lucky dude to have a wife as awesome and understanding as you!

Thank you so much! lol I pushed them people away like I was moving bricks of cocaine

[Oliverlogan263]

Woahhh, moving bricks of cocaine? That escalated quickly haha. But I get what you mean - you had to get real firm with people and lay down the law so your man could get his space. Sometimes you gotta be the enforcer when people aren't respecting boundaries, ya know? Props for clearing everybody out like a tough bouncer at a packed club. You showed them who's boss! I'm sure your husband really appreciated not having all those nosy nellies breathing down his neck during a vulnerable time. You protected him like a true ride or die - he's lucky to have you in his corner for sure!
