I'll tell you why

He wont be with you because you aren't Turkish wife material. You gave him sex without a relationship, that was the first HUGE mistake. Now he sees you as immoral and easy. It sucks to hear, but as the wife of a Turk and living around turks constantly, I know the routine. In addition to that, you aren't Turkish, you probably aren't muslim, and of course his family wouldn't approve.

ANYTIME you get involved with a man from eastern europe or the middle east, NEVER give him any sex until you are in a VERY serious relationship (talking marriage). Before then is just to shoot yourself in the foot, they won't see you as moral enough to be their wife and entrusted with their honor, name, or to raise their kids. Their sexual morals are NOTHING like the west, you need to understand that before you get involved with another one.

I was 30 years old, had many partners before, but made damn sure to make my Turk wait three years before touching him. By the time we were finally together he was so certain he was going to be with me that bringing sex in the picture only sealed the deal, it didn't compromise his view of me.
