Confessions

Postby turkcyp » Wed Apr 06, 2005 9:44 pm

You know all those confession web-sites where you go and make confession. For a such a small place in north Cyprus there are two of them . Every once in a while I get into those sites to read those confessions and laugh but this time I have read the following confession which had made me sad actually. :( There is nothing worse than seeing a family split over nationality especially if there is a kid involved. A kid needs both father and mother.

Here it goes the Turkish confession and translation to follow.

ah_kardoula_mou; Cinsiyet: Kadın; Yaş: 30; Nerden: ABD
Kıbrıs Türküyüm. Kıbrıslı Rum olan eşimle 2 sene önce evlendik. Ülkelerimiz arasındaki siyasi anlaşmazlık yüzünden şu anda ABD'de yaşıyoruz. Evlenirken gerek ailelerimiz gerekse yakın çevremiz bize manevi açıdan büyük destek verdi. Her zaman bu yaptığımızın harika olduğunu söylediler. Ama gelin görün ki, böyle örnek davranışlarda bulunmak evlilikleri kurtarmıyor. 8 aylık hamileyim. Bebeğin cinsiyeti erkek. Hâlâ isim savaşı veriyoruz. Zaten çocuk konusu hayatımıza girdi gireli milliyetçilik duygularım kabardı ve aramızda anlaşmazlık arttı. Eşim Rum, bense Türk ismi istiyorum. İki isim koyup ortada buluşalım diyoruz ancak bu sefer de çocuğun hangi ismiyle çağrılacağı konusunda ayrı düşüyoruz. Sırf bu yüzden bir keresinde iki gün küs kaldık. Ayrıca dil problemimiz de var. Eşimle İngilizce anlaşıyoruz. Ben çat pat Yunanca konuşuyorum. Eşimse zor olduğunu öne sürerek Türkçe öğrenmek için gayret göstermiyor. Sırf inat olsun diye Yunanca öğrenmeyi bıraktım ki yarın öbür gün çocuğumuz büyüdüğünde evde konuşulan dil Yunanca haline gelmesin. Ya iki dili de konuşacak ya da hiç! Acaba eşime önyargıyla yaklaşıp faşist duygular mı besliyorum diye düşünüyorum ama cevabı kendim de bulamıyorum. Ooof offf! Rum kocan mı var derdin var!


ah_kardoula_mou; Gender: Woman; Age: 30; Where from: USA
I am a TC. I have married a GC two years ago. Because of the political differences between our countries, we are now living in USA. When we were getting married, our families and our close friends gave us big support. All the time, they have said what we did was incredible. But unfortunately these kind of exemplary acts does not save marriages. I am 8 months pregnant. Its is a baby boy. We are still fighting over the name. Since the baby subject had entered into our lives my nationalistic feelings started to surge and the differences between us increased. My spouse want a Greek name and I want a Turkish name. We are talking about giving her two name so that we can meet in the middle as a compromise, then this time with which name we are going to call the baby is becoming an issue. Just because of this reason we have not talked to each other for two days. Plus we also have the language problem. We both speak English. I can speak a little bit of Greek, but my husband, claiming that Turkish is hard, refuses to learn Turkish. Just for spite because of that I have stopped learning Greek so that when our kid grows up in the house later on the language spoken in the house won’t become Greek. Either we will speak in both languages or none. Sometimes I blame myself that I am being prejudiced towards my husband and carry fascist feelings but I can not find the answer to that. Offf. Offf. If you have GC husband this means you have a problem.

Another confession, this time funny. :)

İki sene önce yaz tatilimi geçirmek için ankaraya abimin yanına gitmiştim. Bir gece eve geç geldim baya. Birde çok kötü içmişim. O günlerde abim eve papağan almış üstelik birde salona koymuş. Bende tv'nin karşısında uyumayı çok seven birisiyim. Evin kapısını açtım daha kapının kolunu tutar tutmaz abimin salak kuşu başladı bağırmaya aklı sıra konuşuyor. Neyse dedim susar herhelde. Ben çekyata uzandım yattım. Kuş hala susmadı. Üzerine tülünü örttüm susmaz, ıslattım susmaz, alıp balkona çıkarsam komşular uyanacak. Abimin odasına koysam beni vurur. Çocuğun odasına koysam ikinci bir facia çocuk uyanır. Dolayısıyla yine salonda kaldı. Bende son çare olarak üzerine kolonya döktüm! Bir süre sustu sonra yine başlayınca döktüm kolonyayı çaktım kibriti. Gerisini tahmin edersiniz herhalde :) Sabahta abime dedimki kuş kafesten kaçtı. Hayvansever arkadaşlardan özür diliyorum :)


Two years ago during summer break I want to Ankara to visit my brother. One noght I have come to home very lat. I was also very drunk. During those days my older borther had bought a parrot and put it into the living room. I am person who likes to sleep on front of TV. As soon as I have entered the house the stupid bird started shouting, supposedly speaking. Anyway I though she will shut up soon, and I started to sleep on the foldout couch. The bird did not shut up. I covered her with the sheet still she shouts. I made her wet still she shouts. If I take her out to balcony she would wake everybody in the apartment out. If I put her into the baby’s room, it is worse this time baby will wake up as well. If I put it in my brothers room he will surely kill me. So she had to stay in the living room. So as a last resort I had poured Kolonya on the bird. She stopped shouting for a while, but soon started again shouting. This time I have poured more Kolonya on and burn the matches. I think you can guess the rest. The nest morning I have told my brother that the bird had escaped away. I apologize from all the animal lovers.

Kolonya: A very alcoholic refreshing cologne.

I did not find the first one sad. I mean it took them so long to have their first fight, that’s very good actually. I bet you are single re Turkcyp. Take this is a rule then:" Esin mi var, derdin var".
