The original question about how Turkish men dump their girl friends doesn´t have a proper answer that applies to men of all ages, income groups or subcultural identities. Nevertheless, if we can narrow down the question and rephrase it like this :

 

How does a teenager who strictlly observes Turkish ways and traditions part with his girl friend?

 

Then I can say that most boys tend to be possesive in relations and vice versa. They like to control the other party as much as they can. They tend to be jealous and especially if they are conservative as well, they have problems opening up to each other and frequently run into problems with their families. Families being a part of the relationship with parents trying to control their offsprings´ affairs  problems and crises of all sorts are usually inevitable. Families can be restrictive especially if one of the lovers belongs to a different sociocultural level, income group, a sect (e.g. Alevite) or a race (e.g. Kurdish). Of the last two, sectarian awareness has always been a problem and the last one has become more problematic lately. In addition to personal, behavioural differences, there are a host of other factors determining the health of relationship.

 

When such relationships end, they usually end with a fight. Personality disorders are extremely rampant.  Predictably, people having dysfunctions of all sorts can´t maintain healthy relationships.

 

The attitude of most Turkish boys towards foreign girls is another story. I have personally observed many youngsters adopting an opportunistic attitude when getting into a relationship with a foreigner. Especially people who migrated to the big city in the hope of making it big here get frustrated by their poor lives and look to get a girl friend whom they regard as a stepping stone.  These people don´t pay any attention to the feelings of the foreign girl whom they have trapped. They usually dump them as soon as their need for such a relationship ends.

 

Unfortunately, part of this happens because these self centered people don´t even consider those poor girls as human beings. To them they are like the stars in the sky. They do not belong to their world so their feelings can be ignored. Plus, of course we must take into account the negative view certain conservative believers have about foreign women and foreign people in general.

 

Nevertheless, it is not possible to apply this to every single person in this relatively narrow group. It is just something that we see in this country. Problems of other kinds can be seen in all countries.

From my own and others experiences as well,  one has to be careful not just with some turkish men but with any man who says "I love you" very soon. Sometimes the men who really love us are the ones who never tell that they love us.

 

 This is also my experience, i experienced it myself with a turkish men (who appeared to be a lier and cheater) and i hear it a lot from other people. My husband (turkish) said it after 6 months and that was so much more valueble and true.

What a strange question? That is not a matter of ´a Turk´ but of the guy. But.. with these long distance relationsship in this forum it is very easy, he just stops calling and emailing you and don´t respond anymore, very easy.  Good luck!

 Why what happens?  Do they ACTUALLY throw themselves into the Bosphorous, or hang themselves as the translation forum implies?
