turkish men and revenge

Submitted by yasemin (Canada), Apr 27, 2008 at 15:16

I remember the day i asked him, are you looking for other women ? and he replied Oh, no never, and as i am muslim i can't lie. Three dating profiles later ( at least those are the ones i found - probably many others ) - saying he's single and looking for a woman.

Re ending marriage: As for dumping me easily, he needed to do some research on turkish divorce laws haha. It seems that if the one who applies for divorce ( him) has more faults that the other spouse ( me :) then this spouse has the right to refuse to divorce and will win the case :) So his little scheme to get a visa/money and then dump the foreign wife and marry the second, something planned from day 1, went all to pieces. Revenge is soooooooooo sweet ( perhaps childish, or any psycho babble term you choose to apply )

but nevertheless it is so sweet watching him beg and try more lies and bribes and watching him grow bitter and disenchanted as the quickie divorce turns into 2 years and the screw tightens :) I have learned from all this that i am smarter and more powerful than him - it's really so much fun reminding him he was beaten by a female - and that narcissism brings its own downfall eventually. It beats knitting sweaters all to hell as a hobby.
