I wanted to ask why many expats are disillusioned and abandon their expat dreams. I was just curious. Like many things in life (marriage is a good example) things sometimes don't work out because people have expectations which aren't met. I sometimes say "unrealistic expectations" but this sounds like a value judgement. Probably those responding to this won't be the expats who have sold in the DR and returned for good to the States or wherever. Is it because people don't do due diligence? Do they see the palm trees on a one week visit and just come on a whim? I am not talking about those who leave because of a problem (sickness, financial, some terrible experience). I refer to those who just see their decision as a mistake and cash in their chips.
