Yeah there's literally no additional advice that we could all give you besides-- Tell him. What you were knowing that you have to do anyway. Where do you start? Literally that you didn't go through with it. That's where you start.
But this is pretty heavy conversation you're about to drop on him. However he reacts initially, give him a little space to get his thoughts and feelings in order. You might not be able to have the full conversation All at once with a United decision right then

I know you came for your own question, but since I got you here, any recommended reading for someone who lives in the US and really needs to learn the basics?

At this point, it's sort of like the most productive way of opening a banana is actually the opposite end that everyone was raised to think it was. I know the correct way, but I'm just not going to do it.
Well this LPT makes sense, I just don't think I can delay it while watching everyone else drink coffee. That and the probably minimal, yet potently annoying hunt for coffee that is usually finished off by the afternoon by everyone else.

Okay, I read the title paragraph, and wrote out a comment before reading the post body. So my reply is not quite what is being discussed. I completely disagree with the title, but generally agree with the post body. The read individually they seem to be discussing different things

Completely disagree. I've attended The Thanksgiving of someone I absolutely hated, but she was a co-worker. I even bought the pie and a side. That wasn't me. That was the situation I was in. I really really disliked her.
And I'm pretty sure she was stuck in a similar situation, and why she had to invite me also.

Reply to comment by LuckyandBrownie in LPT: When debating or arguing with someone and it’s going nowhere, ask them, “What evidence would it take for you to consider that you’re wrong?” If they say “Nothing,” then it’s time to end the conversation. by blowfishmo
Yeah, this feels like an anti-socratic method of arguing. This LPT seems more like IF you want to stop an argument from continuing, THEN you pull this tip, because no one will want to argue seemingly for the other side and will probably say 'nothing' and the argument will end.

Reply to comment by Sarvesh454 in LPT: If you're struggling to focus and stay productive, try breaking your work into small, manageable tasks. Set specific, achievable goals for each task, and take breaks in between to avoid burnout. This can help you stay motivated and make progress without feeling overwhelmed by the big picture. by Samanreddit

I've checked it, it's fine, but I meant something more explanatory. And not so much a to-do list
