Hi.I never thought my questions would be such an interest. I was just thinking of spending more time to know him better, that he is worth knowing more. Getting married at this point is so out of the picture. I felt asking those questions because I do not know the culture of Turkish men.

There are people from other cultures who met, got married and are still together through letter correspondence. A good classmate of mine from India met his wife through an announcement in classified ads. I personnally know a handful of people who met their future spouses online. I am thankful for the responses to my questions. But I hope some of you should not look down at marriages, lest the relationships, of people who met in non-traditional ways.

Getting into a relationship is a choice, and the circumstances surrounding how you initially met don't really matter anymore when both of you are willing to sort things out.

Hi Leyla

I can definately appreciate what you are saying....in my case it's the father....hard man.

Lucky me my fiance's brother and mother are on my side!!!

But so true because any time he mentions me in front of his father the man loses it. Its just upsetting to see him torn.....but I seem to be winning this battle.

Well he will hopefully be here soon and we can work on the family later but thank goodness his mom likes me!!!

I was married to a foreigner before and I know about the differences etc....but i really believe it all boils down to the individuals in love and how equal are they in wanting to spend the rest of their lives together and how much are they willing to work on it? I think plays a huge factor.

Thanks,
V
