Happy Canadian Turkish Relationship

Submitted by elle (Canada), Dec 13, 2008 at 16:52

I wanted to share a happy love story: I have been dating my Turkish boyfriend for just about two years. We treat each other like gold. We both have very high expectations from our partners and both of us continue to live up to these on a daily basis. There is so much love and respect between us and we are best friends andd lovers. We are both very accomplished professionals (He is an entrepreneur and I am a lawyer) and have demanding careers. We both give 110% to each other so even though we give so much it never feels like we are because we more than meet each other half way. His parents are very Turkish however he was raised in North America. Im sure this plays on his values and he is "americanized so to speak." He is very proud of Turkey as I am of Canada. I just wanted to share a nice story and my heart and thoughts go out to those of you who have had negative experiences with Turkish men.
