Quoting azade:

Am I the only one who thinks that what this man has done is absolutely disgusting, not to mention that bigamy is illegal?



Calm down! It says quite clearly that he divorced his Turkish wife when he met this English woman. Why does all your sympathy go to the English woman? After all, she must have known she was getting involved with a married man, and their relationship effectively caused the divorce from his first wife .

What he is done is sadly all too common - but it doesn't make him a monster!! At least he is sending money to his children which is more than a lot of men do after they leave

When he has a baby with the turkish woman it's obvious that their relationship is not over. Having a baby with someone other than your spouse is pretty lousy. Just because he divorced his turkish wife due to issues with the law, it's still unofficial bigamy, or the popular name for it - cheating. He must have lied to his english wife for a reason...

i think its far more convenient that he lived here illegally,got caught, got deported,then 'found' an english woman stupid enough to marry him some men i know have done this..their turkish wives are more than aware of the situation and the relationship is often still continuing behind the english woman's back either way i agree that it is not your place to tell her directly.

İ second this too,your interfering would make things worse,for all the parts,including yourself ofcourse.

First,it may cause problems to your own marriage.
Second,it may cause problems to your sister_in law,at least as i understood,he is carring on his financial responsibilities,maybe when he knew you told the English lady,he will cut it off among other problems too.
Third,it may cause divorce regarding the English lady and you will have to live with that too.

We don't discuss if that is right or wrong,but discussing the stiuation which you have to deal with cause it will effect everything .

Somehow,the English lady will know,sooner or later,but it will cause lots of problems if she knew from you.

And do you think,the English lady doesn't know why did he marry her ?!

i agree with what everyone else has said so far. unfortunately, i don't think you should interfere and tell the english lady. you don't know what the consequences will be...to the english lady, your sister-in-law, or even yourself if you get invovled.

i think what this man is doing is disgusting. but as i always like to think, karma will come around, he will get what he deserves in the end.

i suppose i would like to know why your sister-in-law decided to have another baby with him and put up with his antics. probably to save face in light of their divorce?

My only advise is not to let 3 kids...without the financial support (or even more than only it)
Children are the most important issue,
cos they have no guilt..
Leave the adults..to bare their problems
kids can't...so...be wise

I don't know if I really think it is disgusting?? he left his wife and divorced her.... happens everyday. Sad? yes, but geez at least he is still being responsible for the woman in Turkey and paying for his children. I would feel more sorry for the Turkish woman rather then the english woman. There is no reason for "you" to tell the english woman. It is his job to let her know he was previously married. I happen to think that even if she would have known when they got together she probably would have married him anyway. As tempting as it is to get involved in other peoples business (I do love a bit of gossip myself The best thing is to let it unravel all on its own.

i only said disgusting because i was under the impression that he cheated on his turkish (now ex) wife with the english lady, and then had a baby with his turkish ex-wife whilst he was married to the english lady. confused yet? i am!! maybe disgusting wasn't the right word.

yeh true, at least he is supporting his kids by sending money back to his turkish ex-wife.
