Can it be true love or am I deluded?

hi hun.
i would jsut liek ot say that me listening to other ppl nealry split me and my turkish b/f up. i havent been seeign him tolong and he is alot younger than me. but everything just feels so right
eventually when my children have finised school we plan for me to move to turkey.
i had cancer earlier on int he year and it has made me think of things so differently i think he loves me but if he doesnt and it all ogoes wrong at least i have been happy for a while buti prepared to take the risk
all the best



I wish u all the best.
Yeah that's what life's all about. Taking risks and going after what u love. And, even if/when it doesn't work out as u expected, doesn't it feel better to look urself in the mirror and know that u have done everything u possibly could to make it work? Isn't it better than regretting for being a coward all ur life? Wondering how it would be if u had only given it a chance?
After all, its the 'journey' that matters...

Thanks for your reply. Sorry to hear you had cancer and hope you are well now. I had a similar experience earlier this year which has made me see life differently too. I just escaped the bomb at Russell Sq that killed all those people on 7 July and feel very lucky to be here. Having read all the replies I will go with my heart and make plans to move to Turkey. I do trust my boyfriend but only time will tell how things will work out. There are good and bad men the world over - not just Turkey.

I wish you luck and happiness with your boyfriend.

im 19 and I met my turkish boyfriend when i was 14, in alanya turkey. we stayed in contact and i visited him twice a year and i then fell pregnant when i was 16. he also waited well over a year before telling me that he loved me, but we was very young!
he had no intention of living with me in london, he was quite against it, he wanted me to go and live with him in adana. i wasnt prepared to do this at the time, so he decided that he would try to live here.
we married on my 18th birthday 16 months ago, and he has now lived here for 14 months, our daughter filiz is now 2. we are happy and he is willing to support me next year when i go to university.
although i believe that he has always been genuine, i have watched many of the men he worked with in turkey lead girls on and cheat on them, so it is important to stay aware!



It was lovely to hear your story and restores my faith in men wherever they may come from!

Good luck with uni and for the future

Quoting catwoman:

Afet, you are asking a difficult question. It's good that you are aware of the different things that happen around between men from Turkey and women from GB. I would say be on guard and test his love and patience. Use your wisdom to understand his behaviour and demand from him to make sacrifices for your relationship, that might help you understand how serious and committed he is. Apparently you have doubts, so something is not completely right.
It also depends how old both of you are and if you are ready to make a long term commitment.
If you WANT to go to Turkey to live with him, if this is what your heart desires without knowing that you are sacrifizing your education and happiness, I think it would be ok to go then. Relationship is always a risk to some extent.



My doubts only arise because of all the horror stories I've heard, nothing my boyfriend has said or done. Im just quite cynical by nature and am trying to break the habit! My bf is 30 and I'm 36 so we're not that young so again hoping this is a positive. I'm grateful for your opinions and those of everyone that has replied. It has helped me to make the decision to move to Turkey.

Quoting ~crissie~:

and all this talk on all the websites, i agree, does make you worry
at one point i read so many bad stories i started to wonder if he really loved me, or if it was just because i am from another country
but now i am sure he loves me and i think that the people who have good experiances dont add antything to thses websites telling us about turkish guys i think its mainly only people who have had bad experiances
bye lol



You're right, we only ever hear about the bad stories of women being conned, lied to, fleeced of their life savings etc etc etc happy stories don't make interesting reading to a lot of people which is why we don't hear them!

Good luck with your man. Be happy

I'm only 18 years old and im going to move to Turkey next year too.
I think I will do the right thing. But if it's a mistake, the only way to find out if it's a mistake, is to make it!

Many people who climb a mountain to see its beautiful view, forget that the road itself is also a wondrous thing.
I believe I will enjoy all of the road together with my love, to, in the end, enjoy a beautiful view together and memories to a beautiful and 'conquered' road, against all prejudice.

You're right, the only way to find out is to go out and see what happens. The worst that can happen is that it doesn't work out and you come back again, so what? You put it all down to experience and move on.

I just want to say thanks to everyone that replied - I was really chuffed that so many of you did. Reading your comments has made me feel stronger and made me certain that going to Turkey is the right thing to do.
