Man Runs Off With Friend's Wife - Offers HIS OLD Wife To Friend In Return

<snip>

A TURKISH villager who ran away with his friend's wife has offered his own wife in exchange, newspapers said today.

Farm labourer Cengiz Esme said Gulhan, his wife of 18 years, disappeared a month ago after leaving their village to go shopping in the southern Turkish town of Tarsus.
The 36-year-old said his village friend Mehmet Yaksi had telephoned him the next day and said: "I've run off with your wife .... You take my wife", the Radikal newspaper reported.

Mr Esme pleaded for Gulhan to return and said he was ready to forgive her and make a fresh start elsewhere.

The reports said Mr Yaksi's wife, a mother of three, declined to comment on the situation.

5. Sometimes it is better to give...

And who knows-maybe it will start a whole swingers and swapping movement in their village.

3. "Take my wife. Please"

Many years ago in my hometown, a couple divorced & it was later learned that the woman had a thing going with another man during the marriage. He was also married, & that ended in divorce.

The couple that were playing around then married each other.

And a year or so later, the wronged ex-spouses got married to each other.

And they all lived happily ever after.

Really. And both families had kids, so it really worked out very well, all things considered.

Ah, life in a small town.

6. "..oh you ain't gonna believe this..."

over the summer an old high school friend just blurted that out in the middle of a party-it had nothing to do with anything that we had been talking about for the last 3 hours. Seems that his mother was sleeping with the male neighbor, had been for years. She left HIS fathre and moved in next door. HIS father sold the house and moved.

He still goes back to the same old neighborhood but instead of going to the house he grew up in he is across the street and one house down.

8. That happened here, with my next door neighbors, in the big city of

Detroit. ;) The one couple are still married. The wronged spouses divorced each other some time ago.

7. Hey, at least he was conscientious enough to offer his old wife.

I know of "friends" that have run off together and deny that they are together, then blame the husband that was left behind and blame the rest of the community for telling lies about their relationship and gossiping about them.

I bet the run off pair don't deny that they had feelings for each other before that shopping trip either.

9. I think that's very gracious of him.

There's not enough love in the world anyway.
