I'm not Turkish, nor am I married but I do live here with my Turkish partner. It's not a difficult place to live..friendly people, great weather, delicious food. The pro's far outweigh the cons. I can't generalize every Turkish husband, but Turkey is not a strict country, the people are very modern in most parts and relationships are equal, at least mine is. You do hear the occasional story about the women staying at home doing the housework whilst the men goto the men only cafes and play boardgames and smoke but that's the old fashioned generation. The younger people are very much the same as in Europe - they go out, have fun, shop..do the normal things. I am sure you would love to live in this country it's full of good surprises. The only disappointments I have experienced are the water and power cuts which can happen, but that's nothing to do with Turkish husbands. :)

Know the guy, know the family, go see his place. If it was the US there would have been a difference between downtown Manhattan and deeper Idaho. Local differences in Turkey works the same way. One thing for sure, never mind zarzoomer's answer. His/her example is a movie about Iran. Definitely not Turkey (actually the hero of the movie saves herself by escaping to Turkey). The movie exemplifies more religiously inclined countries such as Iran, Armenia, Saudi Arabia etc.

I had watched a movie with Sally Field. It was about a mother who had to listen on the phone while her daughter was getting raped and killed. Then Sally Field learned the law, learned how to use a gun and killed the raper. Ed Harris was in it, too. They were an American family. Oh. Wrong subject? Sorry. I just got carried away with it when somebody said movie and Sally Field.

Just as in any relationship there are ups and downs. |I have been happily married to my Turkish husband for almost 17 years. I know a lot of couples that don't make one. If you want to make it here you need to except the to culture for what it is and not try to make it work the way it did back home. Yes it can be very frustrating at times, but eventually you will adapt, The most important thing is if this man will be there and give you the emotional support you will need. If he can do that you will eventually feel at home here as I do.

Why it should be considered a "surprise" if it turns out good? Sounds like prejudice to me.

We should have a "Turkish man" section under "Dating and Relationships" or maybe under "Supernatural alien males on earth". These questions remind me of the teenagers trying to predict the character of their boyfriends by reading their daily horoscopes. Same way of thinking.
