Anna, I was not trying to pick your thread apart. Men are men whether they are Dominican, American, Canadian, or from any place else in the world. I know Dominican men who have been married to the same woman for over 40 years and have never cheated on their wives. On the other side of that coin I know Dominican men who are in long term relationships and refuse to keep their eyes and hands off of other women.
What sets apart a good Dominican man from a Sankie, is the same thing that sets any man who miss treats a woman, anywhere in the world, apart from what the woman expects from her man. Relationships are individual things and we all have different expectations, needs and desires. Love truly is blind. We need look no farther than our own TV sets to see these facts. Just watch Judge Judy or Dr. Phil for a week and see how many abusive relationships are trotted out for us to view.
The points you make in your post are quite valid and no one ever wants to get hurt in any relationship, but it happens. We as humans refuse to guard our hearts, or out pocket books. Hopefully we learn from our experiences.
Personally, in matters of love and lust in the DR, I have found that culture is a big player. Without understanding the language or the culture, any relationship is set for failure. Hopefully all of us who are searching for love in the DR will eventually find what we are looking for.
