Sorry for this rant
but I have to because Sevda and Sedat’s marriage is so odd!!!
They’re so awkward with one another, it’s like watching two people who are still getting to know each other. They’ve been together for 14 years!!!
I’m actually bewildered when I watch them interact because it’s like they don’t know each other at all and just happen to be related to the same child.
I’ve been married for just over 11 years and that’s also why I can’t understand their marriage. Me and my husband don’t always have to talk but it’s never awkward!!! We can be comfortable in silence.
Watching Sevda and Sedat interact is painful. It always seems like Sevda and Ela are the family and Sedat is just a man having dinner with them. Their relationship is strange and it makes me even more convinced that their marriage was one of convenience and technicality. She had a bad self image and settled for the first guy who wanted her and he wanted someone to do all the chores for him and a reason to stay in the UK. And now she’s just married to him so she won’t be a single mum but I mean she might as well be seeing as she does all the taking care of Ela anyway.
I can’t imagine that any of them are happy in this marriage. She can post all the cringe and stale “look we’re dancing we’re so happy!!!” videos she wants, I don’t receive it for a second!!! Only time they look like they tolerate each other is when they’re both pissed. I feel bad for Ela that this is what her view of marriage is!!! An awkward, forced and stale marriage. Then again, it’s not like Sevda had a role model for what marriage looks like, look at how her mum acts like a servant to her dad and how awkward they are with each other. This family is a big fed up mess of weird values, stereotypes and low IQ.
