OK I understand the money home bs, but count me out. I lived w/my wife for 6 years before we married,and came to the US after 2 years of marriage. While in the DR I told my wife I married you not your family, you I will support not them, as you know the extended family can link the whole island. When some got sick and MAMI came to the wife(me) for assistance me, I suggested that every member of the family chip 50peso and that would cover the med bill. They just look at me now and pound thier elbows on the table...WHAT. One problem is the rental property we have there, the leasee pays MAMI. with so many grandkids getting sick and everyone knows MAMI has the gringos pesos, well there goes our DR savings.
Oh for Johana, you say your husband has his own bank account, you don't have to talk about sending money, he can send all he wants from his account.
My wife doesn't work, still working on her English, after shopping in malls a dozen times and me paying for everything. I decided to give her some money before going into the mall, anything she wanted would come out of that....boy did she get cheap fast. There is nothing harder than for Dominicana then to spend her money. OH! I never got any change from the money even if she bought nothing.
