I don't want to "knock one out" as you so crudely put it. sleep
For what it's worth, I hope everything runs smoothly for the OP's other half.
Perhaps you have anger management issues, whatever, I can't be bothered to argue with you...

I don't think it is as bad as you make out. I was there with my wife last year and we had zero hassle. I loved Turkey.

Sadly Turkish men will assume that because she is alone she must be a slut and is fair game. I wouldn't let my OH go there. Time to tell your boss you're taking the time too or to have a serious would with Daddy.
I would have thought this was a stereotypical comment but then I spoke to the OH about her business trip to Turkey and she was continually harassed by men asking her "where is your husband" "I will be your husband" etc etc - she was even warned by hotel staff not to speak to any men as it meant they would think she wanted a relationship with them !

So, no confidence issues with Turkish men then.

Bold part important.

To the poster who said Turkey is no worse than Spain - BS. None of my sisters ever got any hassle in spain when on their own or with other women with no men present.

Sorry Bec. Couldn't resist and I did continue reading, really.
Mental note - re-read before posting in future I was pretty stupid posting that smile

To OP, glad to hear you've managed to get a bit of a compromise sorted

I know it sounded like a stereotypical comment but it was based on what my OH told me from when she went with her sister last year. They ended up telling the blokes they were lesbians - puts them right off apparently!!

So, a bit stereotypical perhaps - but no smoke without fire...

The Mrs went to Turkey on her own last year, had zero hassle from the local men.

Here is a pic of her on holiday.

But she wasn't by my side all of the time and didn't report anything bad happened to her when I wasn't around.
