As friend tells me there is a word that means you are uncertain of something that is very important (such as a major life decision), but that you are okay with that uncertainty. She’s trying to remember the word in something she’s writing- she says it might be hyphenated.
I’m drawing a blank. Can anybody think of a word that works?
Thanks
I would say something like “accepting”, but I may be translating.
m-w’s list of “words similar to accept but not quite synonym”:
accede (to), assent (to), concede (to), confirm, consent (to), OK (or okay), ratify, sanction, warrant; acquiesce (to), bow (to), capitulate (to), give in (to), submit (to), succumb (to), surrender (to), yield (to); abide, bear, brook, countenance, endure, shoulder, stand, stick out, stomach, support, sustain, swallow, sweat out, tolerate; adopt, embrace, welcome
Does it have to be an English word? It sounds like something that there ought to be a German word for.

I would think that “serene” (as in serenity) has that connotation for me.
acquiescent
Oh, you mean Ausfallmöglichkeitannahme 
?
Splunge?
The words that people have suggested so far may be applicable to the kind of situation the OP describes, but they don’t mean specifically that. I think that, ideally, Sampiro wants a word such that anyone who heard the word (and was familiar with it) would think, “Oh, you mean ‘you are uncertain of something that is very important (such as a major life decision), but that you are okay with that uncertainty.’”
But I can’t think of a word that means specifically that, though now I’m curious whether there is one.
I knew it!!!
Thanks.
For the win!
Works best so far.
Thanks for all suggestions!
I can think of lots that are the opposite: anxious, world-weary, existential angst, etc., but not for the “happily resigned” feeling.
“Whatever.”
But OP is looking for description, not instances. Like the current thead on uncomfortable silences.
If polling is still open, might I suggest ‘sanguine’?
Meh.
WTF.
Hauptlebensentscheidungunsicherheitannahme . This is not the same as Ausfallmöglichkeitannahme and a lot more like
Verzweigungspunktunsicherheitannahme, but with subtle differences.
Resigned.
