I´ve done my share of embarassing nonsense, due to something many people (including me) would call love. I think I´ve experienced a thing or two, and that´s why I liked the movie "Griff the Invisible" so much. But that´s of no concern. Try to focus on what I´m saying, not my past love encounters, or whether I know true love or not.
Of all the stuff I could say about how twisted it is to ask for translations to such intimate messages, I guess only this one matters:
Here on this forum, people help without expecting much in return. These people´s time is a limited resource. And you (and all the others like you - if they are not your other accounts) are asking to use this limited resource to receive a fish - not to learn how to catch fish.
Even that would be okay, but love messages? Come on! That´s the lowest "fish" I can think of.
But an even bigger even, even what you do is doable. I expressed this in my previous message by "isteyenin bir yuzu kara". I´d say it in English too, if I could express it just as accurately. After all you´re doing is just asking and it is up to people to respond or not. It´s not like you´re flooding or sending private messages with ALL CAPITAL TITLES. But that doesn´t change the fact that I think translating love letters is beyond waste of time.
Yes I think you´re crazy, what I mean by that is what you do seems really weird to me and I think you possess a mild mental disorder. A fancy word for obsession would be its name, perhaps. Why do i think so? Because i don´t understand how people could need translations so much, due another need I don´t understand to keep a relationship of this sort alive. If you need a translation so much, how did you people meet in the first place? How did you fall in love so deeply if you guys can´t speak the same language fairly well? Why don´t you think of these messages as a part of your private life? Why do you so openly post them on the internet? Internet anonymity maybe... But still... If you love him/her so much, why haven´t you already learned Turkish? If you didn´t have enough time to learn Turkish, again how could you fall in love so deeply so needily? At what age do people behave like that? The gap you´re talking about... Might your spouse have put it there? If not, if both of you want to get rid of the gap, how could a translation be so crucial?
You can´t see yourself as I do but try to check some other "e2t please for my relationship" posts. Maybe you´ll see what I mean.
