Dear Amy: My husband and I married on Christmas Day. He died on a Memorial Day weekend eight years later. Despite the passage of time, this remains a difficult season. What makes it extremely hard is the forced cheerfulness of the season.

Dear Amy: I’m a 28-year-old man. My best friend from childhood, “Kenneth,” recently got engaged.Kenneth has decided that I won’t be his best man in the wedding. His future bride’s brother, “Bart,” will be.

Do you think this is something worth discussing with him, and if so, how should I approach it without causing any drama?Dear Bothered: 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. When he’s done, you can say, “Well, it’s not really funny, it embarrasses me, I don’t like it, and I wish you would stop.”
