Wait……did this man actually just make me gain an ounce of respect for him by saying that?! 😂

    I think he actually loves Shekinah, but I think that he is in a paradigm of complete assholery. I think Shekinah is too smart for him, but I think he is actually emotionally, more mature than she is since she seems to always be trying to test him and he just wants to make both of them happy… on a very basic level.

    He seems to have OCD which I think is the source of most of his controlling behavior and I think could be managed well with a therapist.

    The difference between him, and Shekinah is that he is ignorant but willing to learn, and she is malicious and willing to do whatever it takes to get what she wants. Sometimes, those are very reasonable desires, and other times they come off like she is demanding some thing as a child does.

    I sincerely think that Sarper is below average intelligence.

      I’m diagnosed with severe ocd and my knee-jerk reaction was to say I can’t see it in him and he’s just an arsehole but honestly? I know a guy with it untreated and he really controls his wife. Totally takes over their life. So you might not be wrong.

      I think I lean more towards he has a fake/bimbo thing and wants to be like the couples who are living dolls and end up on Botched. That she’s an exact representation of him and his power. Like she’s a project. Either way, it’s fucking obsessive to an unhealthy degree.

        My dad had severe ocd and controlled every aspect of our lives. He happened to also be an asshole but I always wondered what it would have been like had he treated that. That’s kind of what I see in Sarper. But I definitely agree that the asshole stuff is NOT ocd, Just co-occurring.

          I’m so sorry you went through that, I can only imagine the emotional minefield. I think the high anxiety of ocd can really bring out the worst.

          I find Sarper funny but when you think of the intensity it’s not so funny. What happens when his doll has periods and water weight?!

            Or… gasp! A baby?!

            Thank you, it was a difficult childhood and I’m a pretty happy adult as a result. Anything is better than it was there so adulthood seems easy lol

      He does seem to have language skills. Although it could be that he can SPEAK English pretty well but might not UNDERSTAND it as well. I also suspect that he speaks multiple languages.

      My husband is Italian and speaks, writes and understands English on a fluent level. That doesn’t mean that when I start talking fast and with great detail/bigger words, he understands everything. Sometimes he still asks me what words mean.

      Sarper might not understand English as well as we think - and that talking to someone in person is different than on a screen, where you can focus on their lips.

    I dont think the self awareness is internal. I think people tell him he is an idiot so he understands its a problem.

          Have you seen his insta? 🤣 It’s made up entirely of videos identifying himself as a “bad boy” and explaining the qualities of a “bad boy”. Idc if it’s his “real persona” but this is how he self identifies.

            People are using Insta for different reasons. He definitely using it to create a persona. It is a show, imo

              🤦🏻‍♀️it seems the irony is lost on you. The original comment was that his insight is not internal & that he isn’t a bad guy. His insta is basically all videos explaining his qualities and identifying himself as a “bad boy”. This also includes making statement about how bad boys think & behave & how women respond to this in a weirdly self help presented way. His handle is even @theretiredbadboy 🤣🤣 this isn’t about what to believe on the internet. It’s pointing out the irony of the comment & the ridiculousness of his content.

    At least this guy makes me laugh. Whereas, Shekinah has the personality of a rice cake with vocal fry and poor judgement

      It’s not just vocal fry. It’s difficult for her to manipulate her bulbous lips normally, and can only speak in a soft, adult baby voice.

      He has this eye paralysis–doesn’t blink when he talks, like he’s a predator.
      He also needs to open his mouth wide, to move the muscle to the sides.
