My girlfriend and I both left our previous spouces for each other. She doesn't have children with her ex. should they still be friends?

I don't think this is a question of "should" or "should not. " It's not likely this woman will change her behavior based on what some strangers on the internet say in response to your query. You can't "make" someone do anything.

She already knows you are not comfortable with the friendship, so she is doing you the favor of breaking up with you. Go with it, this relationship is a bad for for you. It's not about who is right and who is wrong, it's about having different personalities that don't match.

You will be able to find another woman who is not so close to her ex if you will leave this one, and she can do what she likes.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
