Never marry or be in a long term relationship with Turkish men

I just want to raise a little awareness about living with turkish men.

I have been in a relationship with a turkish guy for three, and I cannot explain what a psychopath he was. He acted normal in front of people but at home he was physically and both mentally abusive. It took me a while to get out of the relationship, and I am still taking therapy for all the trauma I have been through. He is quite an educated man, and never could anyone guess what was inside of him. I think its a lot from the culture. He has seen his mother and sister to be treated as servants at home, and its completely normal for him to treat women that way. They take women as objects to have sex with and somekind of slaves you use all your live. I do not want to stereotype any race, but I just want to warn other to think twice before getting into a relationship with Turkish men.
