Will it last

Call me a cynic but I would be interested to see where they are in 5 years.

Agree KM! I can not understand her parents letting her fly to Turkey on her own when she was 15!? beggers belief.

I have weighed up all the evidence and my conclusion is, that in answer to your question, I suspect no, it will not last.

awww.  wheres your sense of romance ?  my grandparents met at 12 - married at 18 and were together for 60 years.....

Hope these two prove you cynics wrong..

(doesn't mean that I agree with the path her parents took )

I met Mrs Scunner at 12 too, and by 2am she wasn't looking too bad

and what is even sadder is that, if things don't work out, the baby will probably stay here with the Father.

Eh? Where did that come from?

....and I see no reason whatsoever why it shouldn't last. Look around this site - there are quite a few Turkish-English couples who probably started off as a holiday romance, and I think they may take offence at some of the comments on this thread.

Not me - I'm all set for a single lonely and miserable retirement in Calis.

Now, those that have got jobs - get back to work.  (Memo to self!)

Call me a cynic too, but i can't see it lasting.At age 15-18,you are impressionable, and i know i thought that i was capable of making my own decisions, which now, looking back not all were the right decisions.i cannot believe that her parents allowed her to return to Turkey unaccompanied at the age of 15.Call me old fashioned but, i always thought that a parents job was to protect our children.in English law, you are not classed as an adult until the age of 18, so iMO her parents have neglected their duties.
Having said that, i wish the young couple luck, and hope that they do prove us cynics wrong.

Rpg9000 the story said that they agreed to let their daughter fly out to turkey with an older friend, who later dropped out, so they still let her fly out to Turkey on her own, perhaps I am mistaken in her age, but she is only 17 now, and said they have been together for 2 years, so i figured she was 15!??! Yes you are right there are quite a few Turkish-English couples, some friends of mine are, but they are older, and said themselves things where different when they got together. We have had this dicussion many many times on here, and it always turns into quite a lively debate, but everyone has their opinions.
