Canadiankitty,
No hurt feelings intended. I have been reading this board for a few years now and if I had listened to half the the advice given on this board I would have avoided many pitfalls. People are just trying to steer you away from a horrible experience. Then again, it sounds like you have it figured out and certainly this guy is different. Best of luck.

Well, here in Higuey I have couple of friends that work in Resorts. And they are not sankies (well, they work in the kitchen, so not much time or opportunity to mix with guests anyway). But they all have families, kids, and wifes and I have not seen them in anything similar to "sanky-ism".

So, I would say that NOT EVERYONE who works in a resort is sankie (obviously, there are MANY resort workers who don't see a gust from near for long and long time), but I wouldn't be so sure whether the same applies to the wait/bar/animation portion of resort staff.

Amen.

Now you see why I hardly ever post in the sankie forum. When this girl started this post, she had already decided what she wanted, and was going to get it.
She was not looking for advice, and all of the words written in response to her questions are just an exercise in futility.
Nor will she come back to tell us when it falls apart, either.
Another one bites the dust...

Hi CK

Just make sure that you are making the right decision. We don't know your fiance. He could be sincere. But he could be charming the pants off of you. If you have doubts or an feel uncomfortable about something listen to yourself. If he is charming you he will say whatever he needs to say to get what he wants to get OUT. You will be used as a pawn and in the end if that is the case you are going to feel used and embarassed and ashamed and DEVASTATED.

You will look back and say "Wow that's why he did that. That didn't add up. I should have.... I should have..... I should have....... but I didn't.."

There is no judgement here. I don't know you nor him. I just know how con artists work. They are very smooth.

All I am saying is do everything that you can to prove to yourself that he is who he says he is. If you have done that "surprise" visit at least once and he's on the up and up. More power to you. I would hate to see another woman taken advantage of.

If he is who is is congratulations and good luck!
