re missing out on happiness

Do you realise how self-serving you are ? You seek happiness at the expense of this man's real, legitimate wife, you bring her dishonor ( obviously you have NO idea about the culture and the importance of honor there ) such that she will be disgraced in the eyes of her friends and community - the worst thing that can befall a woman there. I repeat - you are committing an illegal act punishable by prison. You can only marry in the religious marriage which is illegal if there is an existing marriage.

If i did this to another woman i would never be able to look at myself in the mirror again. Easy to say that his real wife is well rid of such a man but in Turkey women depend on men for their survival and can't easily pack in a marriage. Not only this woman is affected but also her family and her children. My god how sinful and selfish. You can't see it, can you ?

As we say in Turkey, serefsiz - without morals or honor. That poor woman - how much heartbreak you are inflicting. No wonder the people in Turkey think westerners are immoral. Thanks to women like you making the rest of us look bad, i had to fight off advances constantly. Serefsiz
