This is my first time posting but read most of the threads and found it so helpful and interesting!This is going to be a long post, sorry in advance. If you don't feel like reading the whole story, just read the last paragraph. Thanks in advance.
I am a Canadian now living and working in the US for close to 10 years. I am a healthcare professional, 32 y.o., I live confortably financially but I am in a failing marriage of 7 years (yes I guess the 7 year itch...). I like to think that I have some common sense and can read people more easily than other can. I am petite (height and weight) and I keep in shape. I do get attention from men in the US but I have to say I was not prepared for the DR. (I have travelled in many different places but always with my husband, but not this time).
I went to Punta Cana for a week with friends. I was getting lots of attention at the hotel, from the Dominican and from a few tourists but most of it was so obvious, it was easy to brush it off.
One night, I met V (yes, he is a hotel worker, a DJ...) He seemed different from the other guys because mostly he was not talking a lot, I guess I like the silent type... We danced, had a quick kissed and he grabbed my axx ( I know this is no excuse but I was drunk and on vacation and by that time I felt like maybe I was going to have a fling).
By the next night, I felt like: we live only once and I have never done this even though I know very well that my husband has (at least one time that I know of) and I "deserve" it. Like it is a price or something...
So the next night, we danced some more and we planned to meet after he gets off work and my friends were off to bed. I did not want them to know...
We did not sleep that night even though I have to say he is not really good in bed... We had sex a few times and were talking about our lives.
He told me he has a 2 year old child from a previous relationship (after reading all the posts on DR1 about dominican "polygamist", I don't know if it is previous or current.) He was in the army for 4 years before this job. He is 26 y.o. (6 years younger than me). He loves his job (been there for a little over a year) and loves batchata... That his friend don't want him to dance with their girlfirend because he dances too sexy, I can get that... He told me he had never been in bed with a tourist (I told him that I did not believe him, in return he told me that he did not believe this was the first time I cheated on my husband... even though it really was). His father has 21 kids from 5 different women (a real Dominican from what I understand now). He had 4 with his mom.
I was very honest with him: married, unhappy with my marriage, looking for a fling, not love. He seemed to think the same but asked me to please meet him for a second night since after that, he would be leaving the resort for holiday and not come back until I was gone. So, I accepted.
The second night was different, less casual if I can say that. He wanted me to sleep there until morning. He was asking me why I did this (sleeping with him)? Saying that my husand should know how lucky he is to have me. He asked me why I did not have any kids in 7 years? I told him that most likely I will not be able to have kids (I have some hormonal issues that make it unlikely that I will become pregnant without some kind of fertilization treatment, I did not go into those details with him) He told me that if I were to become pregnant with him, he would want me to come to DR and he would take care of me. He said he has no money but has his love. He asked me if I would come back another time to see him, I did not answer. He said if you ever come back to DR, just know that there is someone here who cares about you. He wanted to get my email, facebook, etc, I refused. He really seemed heartbroken, do you think it was his wallet talking? He kept saying: "I can't believe this will end just like this. No more 'my name'. No more 'my name'. You are my fantasy.". I told him that he is a good person, he will find a girlfriend. He said " no, my hand will be my girlfirend..." He said he sometimes watches porno movies with girls like me and now that he has known me he doesn't even want to watch that anymore. I thought this was a little disrespectful but I did not say anything. After all, I had gotten myself into this. He asked if I would forget about him and I said no never, that he would be a good memory. He said when you are very old, you can tell your husband about this.
I am proud of not giving in to his request for my email but after he left I really was devastated, kept thinking about what he said, what if he is honnest? What if I am really his fantasy? He never asked for money or complained about his life. He even said that now he makes good money with his job. I wonder if he was talking about what the hotel give him or if he has other girls like me??? He has a Iphone,do you think that it is paid by some other girl?
I feel like I need to get to the bottom of this. If he is really honnest, I would actually consider going to live there. Seeing how it goes. I feel like we had a connection but I am wondering if he felt like he had a possible connection with my bank account instead of me. I would not mind supporting him financially but I cannot live with a player, cheater (who am I to say that..). I know that when I found out about my husband escapade, it broke something and we have not been able to restore it since then. I feel like I am in a limbo, my life is so stressful in the US and I could really use a break. I have never felt so appreciated and special as I felt with him.
I keep going back and forth between thinking this was the best thing I ever did or the biggest mistake. I need help! :( Do you know of any private investigation service that can look into him? I only know his first name, hotel and that he is a DJ) I would be willing to pay good money to know the truth. I think this may be the only way for me to get off the hook. If I see a proof that he has other women taking care of him, I will go on with my life, just my pride will be hurt a bit.

Oh Bostongirl, Bostongirl, Bostongirl...

I'm sorry for your bad marriage, bad luck with men and all the rest...but just search for 'sankies' anywhere on DR1 and you'll have the answer you're looking for. Financially supporting the guy? Paying a PI to look into him? Doesn't sound like love to me. Boston's a great place...find a nice guy there, and let this be what you set out for it to be: a fling.

If you get the attention you say you do, then I'm sure in no time you'll find a man that appreciates you for who you are...and will not ask for money ;) Before then, I'd advise a divorce, though.

Good luck and keep your chin up!

So you're thinking of running off and living happily ever after? Honey the problems you don't have now you'll find more of living in another country with a different culture.

Let it go!

I believe you should be taking care of your problems at home if you are indeed still married.
It would help you view the situation clearer, your story has "sanky" written all over.

Get on with your life, it was just a fling + from your own words, he not even good in bed !

PS: being someone's fantasy, doesn't mean he wants to spend the rest of his life with you. You are just that a fantasy (or one of them :) )

I know I sound desperate. I just want to have the proof. I have tried to just forget about it (for a few weeks now...) and get on with my life but I keep going back and forth in my head. I feel like if I have the proof then I will have no other choice that to forget about that option.
I want to make it clear that he did not say anything about supporting him, I am just saying for me this is not the issue.
I am curious to know if you are expats and if you live with Dominicans.
Thanks

i am an expat and have been with a Dominican man for 10 years, married for 6. I have met and known hundreds of sankies, women who have been sankified, and women who are happily married to Dominican men.

He may be a sanky, he may not. He may have other women he may not. The chances are he does. Of course you are his fantasy as most men here have the fantasy or dream of meeting a foreign woman. But in a couple of days he doesn't know you and you don't know him. If he had fallen so desperately in love with you why did he have to go on holiday? There is nothing to stop you coming back on holiday and seeing him again. But thinking about moving out here is pure madness until you get to know him better and have answers to the questions you have. And I suggest you find out the answers to them yourself rather than even think of hiring a PI.

Thanks Mathilda.
How can I find out by myself? If I ask him, obviously he will not tell me.
I cannot ask his friends since I read they all cover up for each other.

It may be the thrill of the uncommitted sexual relationship that is driving you crazy, not him. I would suggest that you place an ad in your local Boston Craig's list advertising your availability for a similar relationship. If you meet someone who provides the same thrills locally, then no need to commute to the DR.

1. Sort out your marriage - cheating helps no one
2. Assuming you get out - come back here on holiday and see him again
3. learn Spanish
4. Talk to him and get to know each other properly

Boston. I am by no means suggesting that you hire a PI, however, I do have several retired law enforcement friends in the DR who would be willing to work for you, if that is what you really want. You can send me a PM if you would like.

To Matilda: I am just thinking since I don't have his info and he doesn't have mine, in order to find out anything, I would have to go back to the resort to see him as a surprise. Then if he is a sankie, he will think "I got her" and will keep on romancing me. How can I find out anything that way?
I am not thinking to get up and leave my life here just like that, I would definitely go back and forth visiting for a year at least. I really don't know anything about life there other than reading most of the threads on DR1.

To Dr. Belmont:
You are funny. I think at first you were right. But not I am in much deeper shxxx that just uncommited sexual relationship.

Girl you crazy. Concerning him being bad in bed, you might have intimidated him too much and if he is a morenito and you a good looking blanquita, you probably were his fantasy. Older, fit, foreign woman, meet's younger guy from the island? Fo sho' you his fantasy girl. He's probably replaying every minute of your time together in his poor little head.
While your in freezing MASS, thinking about him, he is probably standing on a palm lined white sandy beach in Punta Cana, sad thinking about you, his blanquita who he hopes, wishes and desires more than anything would grace his hut. Maybe it's true, maybe it ain't. You ain't happy anyways, so why not be happy in our troubled little piece of Paradise? Maybe is not the one, but maybe is the "other one".
Your marriage is broken and living that empty life with that man you don't love no more is just draining you slowly.
Don't go crazy honey, be honest & just be crazy.
You got no kids.
You could open up a clinica and he can play soothing music to the convalescent patients.

......find out his info, tell him you thought about it and you want to try with him. Start your relationship. After 3 months, when he's dying to marry you, the love of his life, professing his undying love .....give me his number. I'll have your answer within 48 hours.
