Angry [Turkish] Man

Ok, Annie, here's the thing:

Greece and Turkey have an intense rivalry (think England/Scotland here).

If your man is so angry, it probably wouldn't hurt for him to get therapy of some kind. It's not exclusive to Turkish men, and it MAY be a mental issue. I kind of doubt they would have 50 million people there if all the men were angry, but the myspace woman I dated was also angry a lot. She'd always blame it on something (her period, PMS) or someone else (her family, me).

It really makes me wonder if all the hate towards people who are different has to do with something else.

The Europeans don't want Turkey in the EU for two reasons:

1) Human rights and tolerance.

2) It would be a conduit for people from North Africa, the Balkans and the Middle East to enter Europe illegally.

3) It doesn't help that one of Turkey's leaders has told Muslims there to have babies because "Allah wills it", to the extent that the nanny EU will take them in, and when they grow up they can eliminate Western liberalism (provided Russia does not beat them to the punch) and vote in sharia law for Europe, but I hear that would be okay with a certain Dutch government minister.

Not sure where he's getting his PHD at, but if it's in the West, I can pretty much assure you they are probably too scared to "educate" him on tolerance, it's really no secret that many liberal institutions pander to Islam and Islamism and every one else who is different, and since he's from Turkey and a Muslim, they might see him as a "victim" as they often see everyone who isn't a white, Christian male ( the "oppressor").

I wanted to ask: is relationship abusive at all for you?
