Ok, look, i normally don't answer questions like these because most people in love will not, cannot, shall not adhere, acknowledge, or listen to any logic or good advice. OK, listen to me very carefully right now: i'm a doctor--a psychologist to be exact. I want you to sit down and take a deep breath and put your head in-between your legs and breath in and out--taking slow, methodical breaths. when your mind is free and clear, i want you to listen to what is known in western industrilaized countries as this: Logic and Reasoning, but here is only known as baby babble.
What you are about to do is perilous to your mental health and well being as well as your physical health. your girlfriend has relatives--lots of relatives. chances are she has brothers and sisters, and these are in fact married to other first cousins--all dominicans (I'm dominican by the way). What is going on right now as we speak is known in the west as conspiring against the gringo--otherwise known as "White Noise" to you. You will not understand it, no mattter how attentive you are or how well versed you are in languages or baby babble. what i'm talking about right now is the conspiracy between dominican relatives--brothers and sisters, father and mother, girlfriends, first cousins, neighbors and donkeys--it's a plan to knock you out of the picture and sell the house for the money. another option is to take a loan out on the house while you go back home for a short visit. this loan will be defaulted on, of course, and then people with guns will come and take possession of your new house. this will start a dominio effect where you will pay the loan off with a nice 36% interest added to the loan in order to retrieve your house. Not to worry, it's not over. Not by a long shot! this will keep going on and on until you will be forced to buy back your house from your girlfriend at a huge loss that her dominican lawyer will get a cut of.
It's a little game we dominicans like to play with foriegners. It's a game we call "Show and Tell. We will show you everyhting you want to see to secure your devotion--love, effection, passion, etc--but we will tell you only lies in order to secure a house or portion there of.
Even when you think everything is great, beware! Brothers, sisters, cosuins, parents, neighbors, strangers will be conspiring behind your back, and just like a little bird--whispering in your girlfriend's ear--encouraging to her to take a loan out on the house, or worse, knock you out of the picture completely in order to sell the house.
Listen to me..i'm a doctor.
