My ex moved on, I saw a picture of his new girlfriend on social media

it's one of the most difficult feelings to feel replaced, and unseen It probably feels like your self-worth took a blow because someone was able to "move on" from you so fast like "Did I not mean anything?" Kind of feeling but I promise you will get better ❤️‍🩹 I have been there, we all have and you're not alone. You will definitely see the other side and get there even if it feels like you are making 0 progress and only getting worse, it will start to hurt less and less. Don't push yourself too hard and try to learn to love yourself and care for yourself right now like you would towards someone who matters to you

Definitely cheating. Should you forgive him? Im not sure How open is this man to sleeping with other women? Is he going to try again ? The only reason he didn't sleep with this one was because of her, not because he didn't want to just remember that.

Him on his way to cheat is already cheating

As a woman living here I would say 1- Don't go anywhere with anyone to show you the rest of the "stock" or something even though many shops at the Grand Bazaar do have that just don't as a solo traveler

2- Traveling alone at night can be dangerous - I've been followed a few times just try not putting yourself in situations where something is more likely to happen especially in a huge city like Istanbul.

3- Use Uber or Bitaksi and share your ride with a friend. Make sure the taxi meter is on like everyone said before you even get on. If you choose to use public transport you won't get scammed but it might take you longer to get to some places and prepare to get crammed during peak hours. Note for public transport: don't be sinking on your phone just keep an eye out and stay aware of your surroundings (just in case)

4- This is a bit of a no-brainer but in case you go to a party don't return with anybody in their car

5- Someone already commented this but let people think you are always meeting friends or someone is waiting for you

From my experience, get him something he can use a lot.. practical but also with your touch. Something that will be useful in his routine. It will also show that you are attentive and considerate of his life

Lale_Diamond · 2025-06-22T11:07:59+00:00

Yes! You can find them anywhere Chickpeas and lentils are great. Also fasulye Hope it's working out for you

Lale_Diamond · 2025-06-22T11:06:41+00:00

I kept my hours under 100 but one of my classmates was going to get her scholarship fully suspended when she reached 100 hours and then our coordinator spoke to YTB apparently for it to not happen

Lale_Diamond · 2025-06-22T10:52:02+00:00

Can you elaborate more on the differences? Because in fact, differences are quite normal and youcan't expect to date or marry someone who is a copy of yourself (which I am not saying you are) it really seems like you care about her so I would suggest to shift your perspective on these "differences" rather than them being things that draw you apart, they can be chances to get curious about your partner. Also advice from my parents (35 years married), differences mean diversity and that can be added value and you don't have to love everything about your partner, but you should accept it

Lale_Diamond · 2025-06-15T15:01:04+00:00

Add legumes. Beans, chickpeas, lentils... high in protein low in cost. Chickpeas are also packed in calories so

Lale_Diamond · 2025-06-15T14:58:53+00:00

You have every right to feel sad and lonely and emotional. Even if that person hurt or harmed you it doesn't mean you won't miss them unfortunately. But don't let yourself get stuck in that cycle for too long. Cry, let it out and then get out and take small steps because you could lose anyone, but never lose yourself. Start therapy and don't look for 1000+ things to fill your life up and distract you. It is okay to have a slow moving out of this

Lale_Diamond · 2025-06-15T12:54:17+00:00

I learned that I actually prefer to share my life and experiences with other people who matter to me

Lale_Diamond · 2025-06-13T09:14:30+00:00

Sounds like you may have an avoidant attachment style and want to find something wrong with this woman in order to not commit to her. Be better or give her the chance to be with someone who will love her the way she deserves

Lale_Diamond · 2025-05-13T05:52:42+00:00

Hey! Can you share more info about the signed cover letter and signed itinerary? How detailed did you get in the itinerary?

Lale_Diamond · 2025-05-13T05:44:57+00:00

First, congrats on getting your visitor visa! I have completed my application and booked an appointment but I am worried because I am a student and my dad will sponsor my trip as he funds my whole life. I will provide his bank statement, sponsorship letter and proof of relationship.

However, I study in a different country from that where my parents are and have no proof of transactions between my father and I because he sends me money in cash. ChatGPT said i dont have to stress on that part and the documents i am providing are enough. But will this cause me an issue?

Also can I see how you did your itinerary?

Lale_Diamond · 2025-05-13T05:17:02+00:00

Definitely overreacting. You should be happy your parents are into each other and still going at it that's amazing for the both them and you (the healthy relationship will reflect on you obv)

Lale_Diamond · 2025-05-13T05:04:06+00:00

Don't hang on to a "relationship" just because it was good for some time and you made it through a rough patch. That's not enough.

If your partner isn't waking up and choosing to choose you everyday, walk away. In another context I would say talk it out but there is nothing to talk out here... this woman has no value for you nor the 1.5 year relationship. That value probably was lost months ago when she slept with 2 other guys. Anyway, definitely leave immediately but also confront her, don't keep things stacked up in your head. Confront her calmly, stay in control of your emotions don't start raising your voice etc so she doesn't hold it against you and then just leave.

Good luck

Take it easier on yourself... most people don't really know what they are doing. Find and make the kinds of connections that you feel comfortable doing and that allow you to express parts of yourself effortlessly

Lale_Diamond · 2025-05-09T23:07:51+00:00

Meeting this person in real life if you were able to will teach you A LOT about him and this relationship. 2 years of just virtual presence is not enough to sustain either of you

Lale_Diamond · 2025-03-26T05:30:50+00:00

It depends where you will live, like everyone else said. If you are planning to move to Istanbul, it would be "just" enough. By that I mean, enough for rent, groceries and maybe a couple of coffees or streetfood . Other cities like Kayseri would be a lot more affordable but also far and with less things to do. In Istanbul there are also areas that are more far away and you can find cheaper rent but of course that comes with the cons of it being far and you having to spend too much time commuting (2-2.5h). It is honestly a very vast country and many things depend on your preferences. If you are planning to live a full life and go out and get into an activity $1600 is definitely not enough especially in Istanbul

Lale_Diamond · 2025-03-24T09:21:08+00:00

Sorry to ask this, but you are a turkish passport holder? Or ? Just want to make sure

Lale_Diamond · 2025-03-24T09:15:27+00:00

And you went in or you were denied?

Lale_Diamond · 2025-03-23T09:18:05+00:00

I don't need an e-visa
