I thought you were married to a Turkish man. 
I am, we are newly weds. Since we come from totaly different cultures I am trying to get a better understanding of what is expected. If I ask him he just shrugs his shoulder, so I am trying to find out as much as I can. Some may, or may not apply, I am just trying to get a better understanding.

Sorry, but wouldn´t it have been a good idea to figure this out before you got married?!

That is SUCH a scary question!!! Imagine saying that in the UK!
Are you talking about her "duties"? If so, better get in a time machine and go back to the 1950s and find a housewife who can advise....
Things are not any better, I am from the US, so our cultures are trully worlds apart. I figure once all the goo-goo-ga-ga feelings are starting to fade there will be some heads butting. I am hoping being married to him does not require going back to 1950s.

Weird that you didn´t talk about it before you married 
Anyway... really it depends on what part of Turkey his family are from and how traditional they are...

Well.. to be honest, if his family are traditional, that is EXACTLY what you will be doing. Women are expected to take care of childcare, the house, cooking and MOST IMPORTANTLY, take care of all the needs of their husband
Like I said though, maybe his family are not so traditional...

Incidently, has he asked YOU what you expect from HIM? Why is it his decision what happens in your marriage?

True, but show me the man that actually tells you exacty who he trully is, or what he expects before marriage. If that was the case there will be no such a thing as divorce.

One of my Turkish friends - who I love dearly - changes into some sort of oligarch when at home. I have actually seen his wife bring him out a choice of socks and belts in the morning!!
She is responsible for everything in the home (except shopping because then she would be going somewhere on her own) and must ask permission to go anywhere. It took me 6 months to get permission from him to allow her and the children to use our garden when we weren´t there so she could sunbathe and swim.
He is not like this around western women!!!!
Maybe your husband will not expect you to take the role of the traditional Turkish wife?? Who knows: maybe you should ask before the tiny tots arrive?
