AITB for disagreeing with my partner in front of the waiter
my partner and I arrived in Porto last night. We were having dinner in a restaurant and I order some sparkling water. At some point I said the water tastes a bit funny. He tried it and had a much bigger reaction to it than me. This is mostly because he works in coffee and has a strong taste pallet. Either way the water was fine, it was just different than what we’re used to. At some point he calls the waiter to ask if the water tastes weird to him and asks him to try it. At this point I had almost finished it so it felt silly to complain, I never wanted to complain about it either. So I said something around the lines of “im sure it’s fine“ or “It probably just is like that”. The waiter tries it (from what was left in the bottle, not from my glass) and confirms it is fine. Unexpectedly my partner was pissed at me because he felt I embarrassed him in front of the waiter by already disagreeing with him before he even tried it, even though I was the one who initially said it tasted strange. Now i understand it can be annoying that I disagreed but I felt embarrassed that he asked the question since it makes me feel like some disrespectful tourist judging their water. I had also finished most of it so if it was that weird, I should have said something after the first couple sips. He made a big deal out of it, we didnt speak the rest of dinner and he decided to sleep in a separate bed. I tried to apologise the next morning for making him feel embarrassed but I’m also pissed at how he behaved. The situation is extremely silly to me but clearly not to him. Should I apologise and put my feelings aside? Even though I think he overreacted, he should have asked me if I wanted to say something or he should just accept that I will have an opinion in front of people and move on.
