In my opinion jealousy is a disease, a very destructive and hurtful feeling. It goes very deep in asking if we are good enough for this life. Jealousy pollutes not only love affairs but other human relations as well. It is not something that should be encouraged or something one should be proud of or flattered from. In the opposite we should fight it every time we see tracks of it in ourselves or people we care about.

The old piece of advice "Treat people like you like to be treated" works very well as a medicine for jealousy also.

Sorry to inform you that we, in this store, no longer stock "Turkish men". All we have left is "Men From Turkia".

Agreed.. Jealousy of Turkish men-or the men from middle east- can be quite exhausting.. 

its beyond exhausting. I can not have any male friends, but they can have 100´s of females listed. I do not get that. I can be ignored for days...but i dare not ignore. I am not even their girlfriend or whatever it is to be called. I am just someone who gives a crap too much but sometimes I wonder if its even worth it. Its a roller coaster worse than "American" High School. Fine one minute the next bam pissed off. All loving and nice then bam I deserve nothing. And the English, as much as I tell him to not try and translate in English he still does and it never makes sense, its so contradicting!

"I really do not like to be alone with me you want to be"
"I do not want to hurt you! but it should be done Never mind even if we disagree, we are very far from you, and I look at life, I have you in my life...!"

"You do not deserve anything!"

"I made a mistake I deleted!"

so...very confusing and very contradicting. and i do not u nderstand a lick of it!

you are right. His english isnt perfect but I admire his effort

He uses google translate. i use it when i need it fast,  but when it makes no sense i have to like search and i go on here. when i need something to say i take my time and do it right. half the time i have to write in english translate to turkish then back to english to make sure. sometimes it does not come out right at all. itll be opposite and very bad rather than good. :/ i do not think he does the same. i think he just assumes it will be correct. :/ but yes he does try. i do think i am putting forth much more effort

when both people are trying to understand each other´s language, it can make for some difficult moments. but, having experienced relationships with those who share my own language, and experiencing a relationship where we are both making the effort to understand each other´s differences in language, culture, life.... i would choose the relationship that takes more effort. so far, every experience i have had with turkish people, meeting both males and females, young, old and in between......i have met with only warm, open, welcoming people.  honestly, getting to know many new turkish people has changed my life for the better! patience in getting to know each other is all i can suggest. never know, it might be well worth it!!

i think i want to know what i am to him. thats all. but everytime i ask. i get it in english and it is not translated correctly. but when he sends something in turkish i cant translate it right so it takes me forever to figure it out. stressful. even more stressful the time difference.

Stop thinking. Just do it. What can be worst. He is just a man

yea a moody one who is very jealous but yet has no time for me.
