firstly i'd like 2 say thank you just 4 taking the time out 2 answer me. men dont usually give advice that well. i actually spoke 2 him this afternoon about religion which 2 my surprise he told me he didnt expect me 2 become a muslim,because we were both brought up with our own beliefs.all he asks is for me 2 respect his religion, which i would the same as he will respect mine.

i also thought that whilst the going was good i'd bring up the subject of marriage; all i can say is he must of been having a good day, he told me we should live 2gether first 2 see how we get on. then maybe in a year or 2 we can do it, he's telepathic coz thats what i was hoping he'd say.

as 4 the cooking and cleaning. i do it every day anyway. so its not such a big deal. i suppose it was just the way it came across as punishment. every relationship needs 2 be worked on its never perfect. i think i just need to read up on turkish lifestyles a bit more and how they differ from our own. i've never had a relationship with a guy who isnt english, so its all new to me. whereas he did have a 9 year relationship with an english girl before. so he's got a bit of a head start on the different culture.

he knows i'm quite strong minded and i'm not a push over and that when we start talking about things that will change our lives. i want to know the ins and outs of everything. so ive spent the afternoon writing a list of the things i'm gonna ask him in april when i go there. i need 2 do it face 2 face so i can see the reaction on his face, the eyes never lie!

thank you again just 4 putting my mind at rest and making me think about certain things i need 2 address with him
