I laugh when I hear guys go on about how sweet and affectionate Dominican women are.
This is a common misconception. It blindsided me. My ex-wife(met her not far from the restaurant you frequent on 181st) turned out to be loyal, hard-working, gorgeous from the first I saw her till the present, honest and very well-liked by my friends and family, a devoted mother, etc. We had a very healthy sexual relationship. Affectionate? Never. It's like she wasn't built that way. I think it had a lot to with some episodes of childhood abuse and emotional neglect on the part of her parents. I guess they did the best they could(she was the oldest of eight). From the time we dated until I left about fifteen years later I never got the warmth and affection I sought from her. She's not giving it to anyone else either. She's alone and bitter and hates my guts and instead of admitting her deficiency prefers to consider me a perro.
For context, she didn't marry me for money because I had none when we met. I feel bad for her inability to connect emotionally but hopefully learned from the experience.
