Hi KK,

Sounds to me like you are getting involved in things that may not be suited to your culture and lifestyle. Turkish/Muslim men tend to be extremely possessive and can become abusive and controlling. I think you may not be aware of how differently women are expected to behave in this culture. Is this the kind of relationship you are looking for? Also, his money issues will likely pose a problem in the future if they do not already.

If I were you, I would chalk it up to a nice fling, and hopefully a nice memory, and move on to a man who better suits your cultural and lifestyle choice.

Just my opinion. Good luck.
