My father was forced to retire early by his company. He worked there for over 30 years. I’m not sure how to react, I haven’t seen him since I learned the news.

How long did he know he’d have to retire? I mean was this sudden? Or did he have quite a while to get ready mentally?

K. Let’s have this ride.

How long did he know?

About a minute. Maybe two.

Was he given a reason that made sense? Or any reason?

I don’t know. I think the company is forcing out all the old timers. It’s switched hands a few times. All the benefits he had no longer exist for people coming in now.

Gosh, sorry to hear that Handman. I know from personal experience what it is like to lose your job suddenly. But I don’t know what it feels like when you’ve been working at the place for over 30 years.

Yep, there’s the reason right there.

You like her, and she likes you? I don’t see the problem.

Is the problem that she’s with someone else? Because I’d advise against getting too close in that case.

Is this friend still very much not interested in you? Also I can’t recall if you ever mentioned having tried to talk to her about it. I’m just curious about the full situation because I can’t remember.

Yeah, I wouldn’t suggest walking away unless you’ve talked it over and she’s made it clear that it won’t work out.
