But how is what I said "stereotyping", are you saying that the translation requests are "MADE UP" by some screen writier?

Iyi Günler



Nice thought, but not even a screen writer could come up with some of their bizarre stories! Truth is stranger than fiction eh? lol

Before my husband and i got marrried we talk about what we expect from each other and things that are important to me and to him. Mine is my family(parent& siblings),my religion. I call my family every week and send them money. I told him that and i wont stop doing it even after the marriage.
Ira, just a suggestion. Why don't you talk to your future husband now and tell him your fears, apprehensions , expectations when you stay in turkey. This way you will be less afraid of the future. Thats what i did with my husband. I'm moving to Istanbul in August and I too have a lot of doubts/fears and i told my husband about it. It helped. A lot.

Good luck!

Just read the messages women on this forum.....Watch them change



Allah?myarabim(sp?) that's just stereotyping. What do you base it on?

I'll personally be happy to prove the odds wrong 10 or even 50 years from now



I sincerely hope you do.

I should have be clear that I meant change for better or worse.

But how is what I said "stereotyping", are you saying that the translation requests are "MADE UP" by some screen writier?

Qdemir, u r a male.. how can u know what concern women? u have a foregn gf? u just dont know but in reality turkish girls women dislike foreign girls.. Once i was called "Rus dusmanby a woman in nikah salon!!!!



no turkish girls i have met have EVER been rude and if anything are some of the friendliest welcoming girls you could ever meet..i think you and some others may have had some bad experiences..or maybe i was helped by the fact they didnt realise i was english until i opened my mouth

you're talking about very interesting things here...

well, since i have no personal experience with turkish people & society (except for 6-7 friends of mine who come from the Muslim Minority of Thrace, thus adopt easily to the "greek" environment), i would like to ask:

* do Turkish parents always want their chilren to live with them even when they get married?

* isn't a wife allowed to do not even a small job (lets say teaching foreign languages to small groups of children or something like that). i guess i'd be very difficult from a Turkish man to give his consent for his wife to work as a doctor or something, wouldn't it?

* apart from the character, personality and the education the indvidual has received, does it play an important role the place he grew up (lets say whether he was raised in Western or in East Turkey, e.g in Istanbul, Izmir, Gaziantep or Kirikkale?)



okkes is from maras(kahramanmaras) in south east turkey..as i said before i will soon be working whilst he stays at home and he doesn't care if i work part time because we are making the best possible life for our daughter and also helping his family by sending money there.
so technically, he should be more traditional, but he's not really.not to a severe extent and it's waning off more and more

Qdemir obviously doesn't have much experiance of women!



You either have a lot of experience of men or don't have any at all.



Really? How do you work that one out then?
Hmmmmmmm lets see because qdemir has little experiance of women that automatically means that susie has a lot or none experiance of men... You are so stupid it's laughable!
Well I've been married for 2 and a half years so yes I would hope that I have some experiance! My husband is very happy anyway!



As being a man, I have a wider vocabulary of insults than you do. However I won't do that (even if you have deserved) because I have respect for all women, no matter how well behaved or polite they are as being a woman, or how much self respect they have for their womanhood.
