Anyone have of a similar story or input?
My Dominicana girlfiend, now ex girlfiend, recently moved to Barcelona, Spain on a work visa. She surprised me during one of our regular phone conversations (typical long distance relationship with regular visits that lasted a few years and yes, I was helping her out financially) that she got a visa to work in Spain and was going to work as a waitress in a restaurant that was owned by a Dominicano relative.
I have since learned that what she told me, as well as what she told her family about her job in Spain, may not be completely true after all. Apparently there are several thousand Dominicans currently living and working in Spain and that a few may not be working in regular up front jobs, but rather working in the adult entertainment industry. (Kudos to those who truly are on the up and up and working and living a meaning full life in Spain, this is certainly not to downplay those Dominicans who truly are genuine and hard working).
My EX left behind, in Santo Domingo, two of the most adorable children that many wannabe parents would die for to have, to be looked after by her mother (abuela) while she supposedly worked hard in a restaurant to earn money to send home to Santo Domingo.
A reliable source in Santo Domingo has since told me that she was sponsored to work in Barcelona in adult entertainment by someone from Barcelona that she had previously met in Santo Domingo.
I hate to believe this is true as I have put sooooooooo much into our family relationship over the last few years.
Input and suggestions about Barcelona lifestyles welcome.
