I'm just going to give my opinion on the "sending money for the the family" part. I live here in the USA and my whole family, let me make it clear MY WHOLE FAMILY is either a USA citizen or a Permanent Resident. My parents lives in the DR, my father has a business not big but pay the bills, but they still ask me for money because i'm here and they are there, especially my dear mother, because my father is stingy and doesn't give her money, eventhough they're both USA citizen,they can come and work here if they want, but they don't like it here in the USA, so they ASK me for money, and i don't know why but i can't say NO, sometimes i feel MAD but there is something in us Dominican that say send money to your family.
Good example, my father asked me if i can borrow him $3,000 i was about to explode and say NO NO NO but i couldn't, i feel they are going to bankrupt me, i don't know what to do, and i know your husband feel they same way, they are UNDER a lot of PRESSURE to send money to their family.
Keep in mind that my family are USA citizen (parents), image your spouses family that had never been out side the DR, they think that your husband are "livin la vida loca" and have more money that they can spend.
So thank God you are still married, i know some Dominican men that sent their whole check to the DR and live a worst live here in the STATES than they used to live back in the DR.
