Hello everyone,
I went to DR for a summer vacation, I was there for about 2 months. The last thing I wanted to occur was for me to fall in love. I haven't been in a relationship for 5 years and I wasn't looking for one. Anyways, the 3rd day I was there I saw this guy and it was like love at first sight. I text my sister and cousins and told them how beautiful he was. About two days later I was playing dominoes with my sister in law and she told him to come play with us. As soon as she left to get something to drink he asked for my number. You could just imagine how happy I was. We clicked so fast. We were so obsessed with each other for those two months. He would show me off to everyone; his friends, his family, and strangers. He even put my picture on his whatsapp profile picture which is still there. After the last day came of my stay at the DR, we both cried so much. As soon as I got back home (US) my mother found out that I was dating a Dominican guy and all hell broke loose. She told me that I must be crazy for dating this guy. She said she was born and raise in the Dominican Republic and she says that she knows her race more than me and that the guy I'm dating is just using me to get a visa and for my money (which I don't have 'cause I don't have a Job). We still talk and text all the time. He has never ask me for money even though he's poor but you just never know. I feel like my mother has brain washed me to believe that he's using me. I even broken up with him not to long ago and he called me crying everyday until I decided to get back with him 3 days later.
I need some advise. Do you think my mom might be right and maybe this guy might be using me?
If not, how can I get her to understand that he's not like other Dominican men.
She tells me shes going to let go of the situation but then starts arguing with me about it a few days later saying I deserve better.
My Father also feels the same way or maybe worst about Dominican men when he finds out I'm going to be scared for my life.
By the way I'm 24 lol
