Want to be sure. Give him the "Test". Simple, have a girlfriend of yours call him and say she met him in the hotel and wants to get together when she comes back. You will save a lot of time and find out quick what you are dealing with. Hope it works out well, but the odds are not good........
thanks I appreciate your responseI just believe you have to have something in common with the other person. For me, I was still a flight attendant when I met my spouse. We dated for probably a little less than 2 years before we got married. We both had our own lives, work, etc... So financially there was no "dependency" on each other. His family was "known" so I never had any doubts when he introduced me to them. Nothing ever felt uncomfortable or "off". I think that if the OP in her mind is questioning certain things, then take the relationship for what it is. I don't think I would want to be in a relationship thinking "the worst that can happen is I helped someone who needed it". Meeting someone and deciding to "financially support them to a degree" not sure if that is the best way to start a relationship. Normally that would be a decision made later down the road. But that is just my opinion.
You can't protect people from themselves..............Lovinglife, you are being bombarded with truth bombs. We are not here to criticize or make fun of you, we are here to protect you.
No, but you can provide some reality checks as a warning. It’s up to them to listen or not and deal with the consequences.You can't protect people from themselves..............
I sincerely hope that things go well for the OP; but I cannot help but sensing certain hesitation from their posts together with a few red flags... I hope I'm wrong...Lovinglife, you are being bombarded with truth bombs. We are not here to criticize or make fun of you, we are here to protect you.
It has ended…..I sincerely hope that things go well for the OP; but I cannot help but sensing certain hesitation from their posts together with a few red flags... I hope I'm wrong...
Oh my...can you tell us why?It has ended…..
It would be terrific if you kept hanging around here and chatting with your new-found friends. You'll learn a lot and there's no telling what can happen.It has ended…..
Why ? Are you looking for a girl ? HahaIt would be terrific if you kept hanging around here and chatting with your new-found friends. You'll learn a lot and there's no telling what can happen.
I'd like to see you stay!
I'm way too old for you, ya little rascal!Why ? Are you looking for a girl ? Haha
Oh my...can you tell us why?
He has been telling me the truth so far, its me that hadn’t been believing him and believing people like you guys , that were wrong …saying good men don’t exist in DR. But they do ..all people are not bad . He told me up front what his plan was and he never ever asked for money , it was me giving it ,,,,,because I am a helper , he was embarrassed to accept it and told me so…….he has good morals and is truthful , I never ever caught him in a lie .It seems the OP is aware that her boyfriend needs financial help. If she is ok with that then at least she knows that is part of what the relationship will be based on, financial. It will up to her how far she wants to go with that. Just remember that his family will always support him, so do not depend on them to tell you any truths.
Haha,,,,, you don’t know my age ……. I won’t tell but you won’t believe…..🫢I'm way too old for you, ya little rascal!
I do not recall saying good men do not exist in the DR (I married one). However, most of us have been around for a while, heard and seen it. When someone posts about their relationship many times it is because they have doubts or a "gut feeling" something is not right. Too many times we read posts about someone who has met someone, helped them financially, but in the end felt used. You can overcome the language barrier, learn Spanish, or help him learn English. No "relationship" ends because of what others may say about it. It ends because of your own doubt. Curious, when did you last see him in the DR?He has been telling me the truth so far, its me that hadn’t been believing him and believing people like you guys , that were wrong …saying good men don’t exist in DR. But they do ..all people are not bad . He told me up front what his plan was and he never ever asked for money , it was me giving it ,,,,,because I am a helper , he was embarrassed to accept it and told me so…….he has good morals and is truthful , I never ever caught him in a lie .
but I went too far in accusations before realizing his truth to me ……but the language barrier was an issue causing words to be misinterpreted……it was always an uphill struggle…..and I am not too sure I can tolerate this life indefinitely .
heartbroken 💔
and yes , I can hear it now ……all hearts heal 👍
It’s different for women in the same situation but the opposing sex . DR women are not the bread winners of the family therefore are not under the same pressures and constraints as their counterparts …….making it more difficult for us women from outside to get an honest man , in general , as this is what most people are saying about DR men.We're now close to 16 (in 3 months) years now with my Dominican wife. Same here as quoted above, usually stand out where ever we go in that other parents are much older than we or that we are from completely different cultures yet somehow it works... 3 years of age difference, both went to the university, 2 kids, both of us kind of introverts... We have traveled but my wife has never had a desire to leave the DR for her. For the kids we have both wanted education abroad though. When we met and practically ever since then, her family has been way more wealthier than me, to the point that when we were young and dumb, my father-in-law lent us the money to rent an apartment as I was between jobs... Her whole family have always been hard workers, having their own businesses...
Yes , I agree , that is not what I meant . And yes in the end it was me myself that had the doubts because of what I was hearing in the public and that the chances are that…….blahhh. Blahhh…I do not recall saying good men do not exist in the DR (I married one). However, most of us have been around for a while, heard and seen it.

That is not totally correct, many women are the bread winners of the family in the DR. Many have careers outside the home, they have the same pressures as a man, if not more. You do also know that many women are supporting a home, children, etc... without help from a man, children's father, etc... I am not sure you know the DR so well.It’s different for women in the same situation but the opposing sex .

it’s a different situation from the getoo…….being a man from DR. and the person to support the family….
