      ‘Choose your battles’ (March edition) made so much sense to me, and forced me to consider my own life. I always find myself tiptoeing around people, trying not to upset them – but it’s often at the cost of my own happiness. Your feature made me see t

      You Said It

      WINNING LETTER Think before you get divorced, a family member said. A woman of your age (about 54 at the time) will battle to find a man. Men prefer younger women. I suddenly felt rather insignificant. I was defined by whether I had a man? I had a qu
