Yes, these are attributes my lovely Turkish boyfriend posseses! Hands off, you´re not marrying him

 

I guess if you´re that set on finding a Turkish husband, the only way to go about it is to move there. Although i cant understand how you can simply tell yourself you´re going to marry a Turkish man. You could fall in love with a Chinese man tomorrow, you just dont know what the future holds for you!

[Diary of an Expat Bride] Stuffed grape leaves

Is this based on a true story, are they her actual experiences?  I hope at least she has done some character disguise.  If not, she has no idea of what a problem is yet.  Turkish famlies cherish privacy in family matters. In fact, I think most people don´t like the "kiss and tell" type activity.

 

How on earth can one expose such deeply personal issues for all the world to read,, particularly if it is in the present?

 It would probably just be more complaining!

If you trawl through this entire thread you can read all the previous posts including when the mother-in-law was choosing furniture for their apartment and telling  the bride what to wear on her wedding day!

 

 

(Actually-go to juliacernat´s profile and look at her forum posts.)

well I´m glad to see I´m not the only one. I think a big difference between "Western aka Christian" culture and "Eastern" cultures is the need to bare it all.  I think this comes out of the tradition of the Confessional where one would confess and get absolution. That has devolved into things like the Jerry Springer show.
