Dear Amy: I’m a 28-year-old man. My best friend from childhood, “Kenneth,” recently got engaged.
I just chuckle along because I know this wedding isn’t about me and I don’t want to cause any sort of drama.
Do you think this is something worth discussing with him, and if so, how should I approach it without causing any drama?There is no need for you to continue to second-guess your own reaction to this comment. It was fairly tasteless and unkind the first time you heard it, and it is not improving with repetition.
I assume that as time goes by, you might actually be relieved not to be hosting this friend’s bachelor party. And then — you wait. He will sputter and guffaw.

He died on a Memorial Day weekend eight years later.What makes it extremely hard is the forced cheerfulness of the season.Being chided by strangers for not exhibiting the proper holiday spirit is frustrating. Demoralizing. Depressing.
