DEAR AMY: There are times when it's great to be a guy; the best is when the subject is weddings. "Torn," a woman (naturally), is agonizing over inviting a co-worker and her disagreeable spouse, while her husband-to-be shrugs his shoulders. We guys tend to think that the focus of the event is simply two people pledging love, commitment, and all that stuff, and are mystified by the politics of guest lists and all the rest. Who cares who's sitting in the seventh row or took an extra portion of wedding cake? I didn't even tell my boss I was getting married when I asked for a few days off. -- Harry
DEAR HARRY: There are times when it is just plain smart to act more like a guy. Thank you.

I agree. Over thinking stuff drives a person crazy. And it doesn't help at all.

It sounds like "my fiancé is having a dilemma about who to invite from her work place, it might cause some drama and make her work life uncomfortable for her or worse, ruin our special day. Instead of giving my opinion on the matter and trying to offer a solution, I just shrugged my shoulders and walked away. "
He sounds like a real prize.
That being said, some women can make a mountain out of a molehill. However, there are guys out there who minimize their spouse's feelings and don't really listen.

I imagine the OP would also say something like this:
There are times it's great to be a guy. I never have to worry about birthdays or anniversaries being acknowledged because I know my wife will have it handled and cads will be sent out to both sides of the family. Christmas is no problem, the only person I have to buy for is her! Recently the kids had special events and I didn't have to worry at all. It was so easy, I just showed up -- wife took everyone to get the proper clothing that was required and she sent out all the invitations to our family and even had thank you notes sent out within a week. There are always fresh sheets on our bed and enough towels to shower with. You should see our fridge, it's stocked! Being a guy is awesome.

Imagine what else she could do if she didn't also have a full time job!

Rock, meet Hard Place.
I've learned the hard way, that there are questions that shouldn't be answered, because,
no matter what he says, she will blame him for screwing it up and making her life miserable.

Not my DH. He's 65, but has the body and agility of a 40 year old. He also drinks about 2 gallons of water a day, so that probably helps...
Symptom of diabetes?
Oh geez. Drinking water is good for you. Her DH is obviously doing well. I realize you work in the medical sales field but why would you even go there?

Please do. I'd love to know why you don't think Ohfours' DH doctor doesn't see him regularly. Worse case scenario is not the way to live life.

DH sees his doctor regularly. He's not diabetic. He's in amazing shape. All he drinks is water...maybe one cup of coffee. No soda, no anything else. As I said, he's 65 with the body and stamina of a 40 year old. Geeks here have met him. He's in better shape than most younger people. You would never know his age but for his hair. He needs to keep doing what he does. He will outlive me...

I thought no one was supposed to drink over a gallon of water a day.
ETA: Nevermind, I googled. I know I heard that somewhere, but I don't think it's medically accurate.

As a nurse, I will answer ed's question on NAOW's post.
We are suppose to drink a minimum of 8 8 ounce glasses of water a day. That is 8x8 = 64 ounces or 1/2 gallon of water. More is even better. Water flushes the body of impurities. As long as you don't drink all that water at once, there shouldn't be a problem other then going to the restroom a lot.
My DH always drinks a gallon or more of water a day. Hmm.... maybe that's his secret.
