Living with a Turkish woman is like

Before you move in with a Turkish woman, get ready for Turkish breakfast, soap operas, hour long goodbyes with her friends and lots and lots of jealousy. Do you like Turkish culture?

  • I've never dated a Turkish woman, but I can see this is real. I laughed about the long goodbye ("Just 10 minutes!") 🤣🤣🤣

  • The series which she told about in the video is "Aşkı-memnu"(forbidden love).. great tv show.. Thanks Marina for this beautiful video ❤..

  • My fiancée is Turkish! The part about the shoes is 100% true. I’m used to shoes inside the house and she flipped out when I did that. Gave me a whole speech about dog poop etc on outdoor shoes. Oh and you forgot to include bidets. Yeah, thats not something we do in the States and she flipped out about that too lol. Needless to say I am now looking to install bidets. Still, I love her and her yogurt!! (Ayran - that’s all I have to say lol)

    • You Americans are dirty for wearing shoes in the house, we also wear slippers in Slovakia and everywhere in Eastern Europe

  • I've been living with a Turkish woman for 35 years and I call her 'aşkım'. Big breakfasts are a thing but I've never found her to be jelous or concerned if I was in a social or business environment with women. Long unannounced visits from friends and relatives are also a thing but if I get bored during such a visit I announce that I have an appointment and leave. When I come back 30 minutes later the guest is usually gone.

  • Hello, I am Turkish and I have been waiting for this videooo. First i want to say, yes jealousy is a thing but young people are changing and possessiveness becomes less. For example I am not that jealous or possessive because nowadays we see it as being insecure. Secondly, the shoe thing is so true… my boyfriend is Portuguese and we talked about this a lot of times and he was so surprised 😂 as for the series, I myself don’t like them because they’re way too long and way too dramatic but soap operas has their own fanbase that’s true. Other than that, Turkish women are generally really caring, they make breakfast for you, worry about you, hug and kiss you suddenly, sometimes they buy little gifts for you for no reason. Thank you for the video ❤

    • But when foreigners come they don't apply the same culture of hospitality and are rude and want to take advantage of foreigners or just not welcoming, not all but still that's my experience

    • @@Frivals if you’re talking about turkish, I have visited so many countries and unfortunately and embarrassingly trying to taking advantage of foreigners is a global thing.

    • As a Turkish woman I totally agree with the 'young' turks part we're not jealous and don't like soap operas

  • The never ending goodbye is a Mediterranean thing, not only Turkish 😂. We suffer it as much in Spain and Italy

  • Happy Thursday, Marina! Great video today and I hope to see more of this videos. From my experience, a couple of years ago I was talking to a half American 🇺🇲 / half Turkish 🇹🇷 girl and we got to go out for dinner a few times and spend time together and lived in different cities but same state of Florida but I didn't get to experience much of what the video represents. Sending love your way ❤
