miserable life

i am with a muslim turkish man, i have been for 8 years now. I am christian australian...like you said in the beginning he was so different...we now have a child together and i feel trapped in a controlling abusive life...i'm constantly being told i'm not good enough, the house is never clean enough...i hate my life...we have a child together and that is the sole reason i'm still with him...our son gets treated with love and respect...but not me..i'm mother but dirt! his mum, his sister and his brothers will always come before me..i will always be the last on his list of priorities. i hate him more and more every day.

it annoys me that in the beginning he never said to me 'your expected to convert to islam', if that is such a high expectation why not make it clear from day 1...why should i change for him, he would never do it for me...

warning women never ever date a turkish man..they will never respect you like you deserve to be.
