I am a white,male from US.Have been married for over seven years to a beautiful dominicana.Met her at the place I was renting,she was the maid there.We dated for over 1 year and some,she became pregnant,so we married.We had been planning to marry anyways,so it was mutual.She had a daughter at the time,we now have 2 daughters,and she is pregnant again,she desperatly wants a boy,,due in December.My oldest girl is 12,the youngest is 7.We have honestly not had any major problems,and I think it has to do with me living in her enviroment.My wife loves me dearly,tells me all the time,I respond the same,and her daughter also loves me and expresses it to me always.She had a house,a dominican house,as she is considered the dominican poor.I moved in with her....in an enclave of 8 other houses,all brothers,sisters and father.I have to say one thing,these people are just amazing,fantastic and the happiest people you will ever know.Even without anything,they never complain,never are outwardly unhappy,and always have treated me with great love,as I am a member of the family.I have not had any problem living in this enviroment,and actually have been very happy.We recently have had water run into the enclave,with a little prodding from me thru the town....so now we do not have to do the laundry,wash the pots and pans and bath in the river that runs thru the property.We are getting there...
Just a few words for those persons who get caught up in the sanki/money grubbers...there are plenty of great,great dominicans that do not fall into that catagory....I live in the Samana peninsula,so plenty of tourists here,so I can relate to those who do vacation here and get caught in that trap.Bottom line for me is the Dominican is a very wonderful person,just great people,and makes a good wife/husband.
For you who like to crunch numbers,I just turned 69 and my wife just turned 31...and still am much in love,and who knows,if it is another girl,we may try again...!!!!!Life is great.
