Sounds like you made the right decision, dude (assumption alert! ). (I don't think I ever had to make that decision, so I'm not sure how I would've handled it!) I'll bet you found - or, will find - the type of woman who is more mature and self-reliant!
Best of luck.
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.
