Quoting azade

The planning of that wedding seems to take forever. Just get it overwith already {#lang_emotions_head_bang}

Relationships, in which the wedding is the most important day, often don´t last long.

What a whining, self absorbed daughter in law. No wonder she doesn´t get along with the family.

 Are you talking about the woman in the article?

 

If so -

 

I am not sure what makes you think this woman is self absorbed because I could actually relate to some of the things she said.  Being married to a Turk when you are a Non-Turk can be very frustrating when it comes to things like the wedding and children.  I don´t think its too much to ask that your traditions are honored as well....after all, compromise is a big part of marriage and in my culture, mother-in-laws mind their own business (but are usually happy to do so {#lang_emotions_lol_fast}).

 not everyone is as "good" as you {#lang_emotions_you_crazy}

her marriage is a huge mistake or she should digest everything and sacrifice herself to turkishness and refuse being a free woman, maybe just like you, azade?

 

 

 

 

 Femme are you the lurker sitting in my tree at night, trying to catch a glimpse at my Atatürk style niqab? Shame on you, being a defenceless woman, I will immidiately report it to the bureau of turkishness!

 Yes I´m referring to that woman. The first couple of articles were interesting, but it seems like the only topic she can write about is how she´s afraid of losing her culture and her intrusive future mother-in-law. Why doesn´t she set the lines straight  to the m-i-l so she can start to feel confortable with her life.

I agree with you that compromising is very important (for any marriage), but from what she writes I get the picture that she´s immature about it. Perhaps if the expressed her feelings to the fiance´s family instead of the internet, they could come to a better solution.

Perhaps the teyze wants to take care of everything because it´s taking too long time lol Well I don´t know. It just seems like they don´t even communicate well with eachother.

 Just had a funny thought......maybe the fiance is waiting for translations on the tranlation forum??!!{#lang_emotions_lol_fast}

 

I guess I am somewhat lucky that my Turkish mother-in-law doesn´t interfere too much but I am always surprised at how easily she gives her opinions. I usually just thank her for her ideas (then do what I want{#lang_emotions_lol_fast})  If she doesn´t like me, she does a very good job of hiding it - so we are all happy!

 Well, I guess anything is possible.  But I doubt any Turkish mother-in-law could wait 5 years to kick up a fuss.  {#lang_emotions_lol_fast}
