Greg,
It is very hard, being married to a person of another culture, you just can never take that "culture" away from them.. Or ours from us.. So they tend to buck eachother from time to time.
I don't know, I have never been married to an american men, but I dated a few for long periods of time, and I know I could never be as happy with them as I am with my Dominicano. He's da bomb!
About the comment about the men.. I know that it's true.. I was being laughed at last time I was there by about 5 people, and those that walked by.. Someone said something about Clinton, and although I'm not a fan of his it must have showed in my face. My husband pointed out that I thought he was disgusting for what he did to his wife and daughter. They thought it was strange, that I could think poorly of someone for "That".
My husband, and other women that I have met who are married to Dominicanos have told me that the women down there are just as unloyal as the men.. That's just hear say.. I think it's just as bad here, but people don't talk the way they do down there! Here it's more hush, hush..
Any culture, Any race, there are some bad apples in the bunch..
Sorry that "ed" picked a bad apple, and sorry about the accident that took her life.
