Turkish men are typically very jealous and possessive and it would appear that this is one of the major problems when a non-Turk dates a Turkish man. It can escalate and the man may become violent, particularly after marriage when you are his "property". The solution is simple: if you're unhappy about this, lay down the law and tell him he has to stop being contolling if he wants to keep you. After all, this is North America where women are allowed out of the house. Sounds like you're giving up your freedom and yourself for this guy. He won't change. And it sounds very suspicious that he goes on holiday without you. A Turkish man is usually married by age 31. Maybe he goes home to see his wife and kids. Maybe he's also looking to get american citizenship and has someone in Miami. Be careful. I know Turks - i married one.
