idiomsb can/could live with sth1 used in order to say that it does not upset someone to deal with or be responsible for an unpleasant situation:She didn't mind the fact that Tom didn't respect her - she could live with that - what worried her was her own lack of self respect.If you publish this you'll ruin a man's life - can you live with that?2 (especially I can/could live with sth) used humorously in order to say that you don't care about the unpleasant parts of a situation because there are also very good things about it:"If you were married to Kim Basinger you'd have to deal with all those horrible Hollywood people." "I think I could live with that.""I'm sorry, I assumed you'd come out with me tonight, I should've asked first." "That's OK. I can live with it."
