I hope you find happiness with your Turkish man. It sounds like he is possessive and jealous which to me sends up red flags for future abuse. I'm sorry you have had mistreatment from American men. I know there are many American men who have no respect for women also. I have also seen men who put their wives on a pedestal and treat them with respect and love. I believe in the saying, "As you respect yourself, so others will respect you." We are living in difficult times. I wish you all the best.
