Women are wired to be trusting. No matter how intelligent or accomplished there's some man out there who can push all the right buttons to make them behave like puppets. Luckily most women don't meet this fellow or he is benign in regard to their life. He's totally in control, but he has her best intentions in mind. This fellow simply did not give a damn about this woman and this incident is the result. Knowing women the way I do I would not be surprised if she suspected she was being set up and simply let the intuition pass as a test of love.
I know gringas catch a lot of hell on this site for their unexplainable relationships with men that would cause them to defensively clutch their purses when in a shared elevator. But, what gets glossed over here is the amount of mental or emotional illness a large number of domincan women must suffer from. That society is brutal on women with many domincan men treating their wifes and/or girl friend as possessions. Teen age girls or younger are ensnared by older men who abandon them alone with children and without a peso. As I understand it abuse of women borders on a national sport and incest and molestation is far too common. I've known a few successful women here in the states that are an absolute mess emotionally due to molestation or incest issues or abandonment by their fathers. To the world they are problem free, but it's all a facade to hide feelings of low self esteem and self-pity. I can imagine that there are literally thousands of women like this in the DR who are simply a product of their enviorment.
I use a simple guage to understand a person's character. For both men or women I give far more consideration to the contents of the book and very little to the cover.
