Believe it or not I am really inlove with Sevet. Many times you told me you want me to be happy as I deserve it but you really made a mistake by talking to yusuf about me.

I do not know exactly  what yopu said to him, but he told Sevets family. Now I am in a difficult situation. I want to marry with Sevet but the family will not accept me. Fix it.

 İster inan ister inanma ama Sevet´e aşığım. Bana, birçok kez, hakkettiğim gibi mutlu olmamı istediğini söyledin ancak Yusuf´la benim hakkımda konuşman gerçekten büyük bir hataydı.

Ona tam olarak ne söylediğini bilmiyorum ama o bundan Sevet´in ailesine bahsetti. (Bu yüzden) şimdi zor durumdayım. Sevet ile evlenmek istiyorum ama ailesi beni kabul etmeyecek. Bunu/bu durumu düzelt.

Can I have a few questions about one sentence?

 

Many times you told me you want me to be happy as I deserve it

Bana, birçok kez, hakkettiğim gibi mutlu olmamı istediğini söyledin

 

1. I think that "as I deserve it" means here "because I deserve it". Am I right about it?

2. I think that "hakkettiğim gibi mutlu" means "as happy as I deserve it", and it has similar meaning to "hakketiğim derecede mutlu", "hakkettiğim kadar mutlu" - "happy in the degree in which I deserve it (to be happy)". Am I right?

3. If I´m right about 1 & 2 - could the sentence above be translated as follows?

Bana, birçok kez, bunu hakediyorsun diye mutlu olmamı istediğini söyledin.

Bana, birçok kez, bunu hakediyorsun diye mutlu olmamı istediğini söyledin. There is ambuguity in this sentence.

Bana birçok kez hakkettiğim kadar mutlu olmamı söyledin. (Better)

So which translation is correct? I am not sure.

Thank you, Gokuyum, for your explanation and example. However, I have still some doubts about this sentence:

Bana birçok kez hakkettiğim kadar mutlu olmamı söyledin.

I think it means "you told me many times that I´m as happy as I deserve it" - so there are two things missing:

1. "Many times you told me you want me to be happy...". So it looks like if "istediğini" was missing here:

Bana birçok kez hakkettiğim kadar multu olmamı istediğini söyledin.

2. But still, this would mean that "you want me to be happy as much as I deserve it" - however, I think that the meaning of original sentence is "you want me to be happy because, as you said, I deserve it". In this case, could it be translated this way?

Bana birçok kez bunu hakkettiğim için mutlu olmamı istediğini söyledin.
