hi...i quite do not agree with your opinion on Turks and on the way you see them. I believe it is not right to generalize that all Turks are the same as the Turkish man you are engaged with. I have a Turkish boyfriend who is gonna be my husband soon, as we are already engaged, and he is definitely the opposite of what you know or believe about Turks. A person in a certain community does not necessarily reflect all the other people living in that community. My husband-to-be is a great man, who loves me so much i know i am his everything. i am not writing these cuz this is what i want to feel and believe in. but it is because it is what it is and what i feel and see from my boyfriend who has always been honest and open.

Each one of us has different opinions on many things. The definition of love vary from different people. As people vary from each other regardless of being in the same country, culture, race and religion. As experiences too. As long as you feel that that same man makes your heart dance, makes your blood sing, and conquers your soul, and feels the same way about you... Good luck and be happy! Despite all the odds, life is beautiful.
