Well said Yasemin

I agree completely Yasemin and I detect a calmer Yasemin too. Unfortunately we are the product of a generation that instilled in us that we needed a man to exist in this world and it is nice to be loved and in love. As in most things, women need to realise the importance of the need to find the right fit. You wouldn't continually wear a pair of shoes that gave you painful blisters so why persist in a relationship in which you are always in damage control?

Being in an interracial relationship only complicates matters and a lot of thought, education and research needs to be done if the relationship is to even have a half a chance of succeeding. It is sad to see so many women in these situations destroyed because their trust and generosity has been abused by these scammers and internet sharks.

Being a master of your own destiny means that you are always in control.
