You sound uncomfortable with this arrangement. It's not a question of "should" or "should" not, you are allowed to date whomever you want under what ever circumstances please you. These circumstances don't please you, so break it off with her and find someone better suited to your proclivities.
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.
