be all right with

[Johnyxxx]

Hello.

Does "It’ll be all right with me" means "I will be fine"?


I liked the way she took it. Not a reproach to me for having bungled things nor a single word about the likelihood that we were in for an even more unpleasant time than anything that had happened so far. As we were walking back to the house, she remarked once, “Poor Uncle Julian,” and that was all. In the kitchen she turned and confronted me quietly. “Before you talk to Uncle Julian,” she said, “I just want you to know whatever happens, it’ll be all right with me.”

Thank you.

Yes.

I think it's better to say it means 'I'll be fine with it', in the sense of acceptance.

That's right. She won't object; she'll accept whatever happens. I have a feeling it will be something unpleasant.
