This is so far the only article which has made me smile as it is not filled with hatred, jealosy, hypocritalism, naivity and is not judgefull of others at al. No you are not naive. If this guy says he wants to live in turkey with you, you trust him, he trusts you, you are in love... what more can a person want.

i AM MARRIED TO A TURKISH/KURDISH MAN AND HE IS PERFECT IN ANY WAY. I can lay my life on the table and say that he hasnt cheated on me once!!! I know this for sure, he is kind, sweet, honest, loving, committed to me and our family, just perfect. I know i am very lucky to have found him.He is a soul mate.

I think people just judge others by their own standards... But who sets these standards? Every society, community etc has different norms and values, different standards... but who can say one is more right than the other??? how can anyone be so sure that they can judge others with this?

no you are not naive. Just trust your instincts and you will not be wrong.

Many many turkish men i have heard have been cheated on by westeners, so maybe him trusting you is also a sacrafice for his future?
