Treat them strict

Submitted by Rose (Turkey), Jul 3, 2013 at 13:11

I am English and have been with my beautıful Turkish man for 2 years. The normal rules of treat them mean to keep them keen, and advice about when men pull away doesnt seem to 100% apply. Give a finger and they take an arm applies here. So ın my experience give the finger and as soon as your Turkish man starts taking advantage lay down the law, remind how you have done your part and they come running. Its very simple, these relationships arent complex 'I have been a good woman now I need you to ...' Always make him feel you are loyal, proud of him as a man and provider, but spell out the border line and let him feel you will replace him if he crosses it. Stand your ground and never give in. These men are like children in some respects and you have a mother role here!
