Well I took some advice from on here and let my, now x girlfriend, know that I understood about sankettes in the hotels. I did not accuse her, just mentioned I understood it happens. I wrote an earlier thread mentioning her Kiney problem. She said it was going to cost 1000 dollars. She never asked me for the money just told me what it was going to cost. That seemed pretty high. Anyway as soon as I mentioned the sanky thing she told me to go to hell and now she won't even return my messages or anything. I'm thinking she is not a sanky and I made a big mistake. She did introduce me to all her dominican friends. I've made dinner for her family many times and I really believed she was genuine before I read all this sanky stuff. Her birthday is on Nov.8th and I arrive back in D.R. on Nov.12th. Does anyone out there have any cultural advice to help me win her back or at least find out the truth? It sounds like good D.R. girls are hard to find and I think I let one get away. Help me if u can. Thanx.
