He will almost absolutely NOT leave his wife

He will almost absolutely NOT leave his wife. You have known each other for 3 months! Yet you expect him to be as impuslive as you intend to be to throw his marriage away for a 3 month internet relationship? You have nothing solid and nothing built between you. If you are unhappy in your marriage you should first try to find happiness on your own before jumping into another serious relationship and taking your daughter with you.

Where is your rationale? Emotions are strong, that is undeniable, but you are treading on thin ice and I'm afraid the high you're on now will almost definitely become a low. Focus on your degree, career and making a new life for yourself without your husband. If your marriage will not work that's your business... pressuring him to leave his for you is unfair. Besides what goes around comes around and no sooner than when (if) you two ever got together, would he possibly be out playing the field again.

Take note, Turkish families are usually very involved with their children and their children's spouses. I can almost guarantee that they would never accept you, especially under the situation you display here. Sorry to pop your bubble, but you need a real reality check. Join the PTA or something...!
