Turkish Man

Submitted by Angelica (United States), Nov 22, 2007 at 09:46

I met a turkish man online about 10 years ago. I much like you felt I had found the love of my life. The fact is...I did. We are now married and have 2 children. We own our own business and next year he will become and American citizen. He has had his greencard 5 years now. So it may very well be that you have found the one for you.

On the other hand....its a big flag that you are married and this man is so interested. All of the turkish men I have met would not become involved with a married woman with real intentions. I am not saying he isnt for real, but its something you should be aware of. Dont allow yourself to be in a relationship where you are waiting for another man to come along and save you from your misery.

If you are unhappy, divorce, make your own life, and go from there. I will also warn you that most turkish men are very jealous...not wanting to stereotype them, but, its just the way it is. They are a very proud people, and considering the fact that you are married, and mentally cheating now, that is something that will affect your relationship for life. Even if you marry, the computer will be a source of worry for him, and rightfully so. Good luck. I hope things work out for the best!
