Hi I am a Canadian. Living in canada right now .But I am married to a Dominican man for almost 2 years .But knew him over 3 years now .I was married to another Dominican ass ---- as well but found out very quickly what his interest was once he came to canada . Money and visa . I met my current husband through all this commotion with my current ex . I will fill you in a little .I bought a house in Dominican and my ex tried to steal it .I had to have 3 body guards and a translator while I was there to get this resolved .oh forgot to mention my ex wanted to kill me thinking he was going to get all my money .But thanks to a wonderful UK woman who got me these 4 wonderful man to help and protect me .I sold my house myself .needless to say had to give my ex half .I found true love with the translator/ body guard .And it just happen . I didn't want to have another relationship but we connected .I go to visit whenever I can every 3 to 4 months . But now we are getting older we don't want to be apart. So with the next little while I will be moving there .He works at many jobs .But not in a resort or hotel . My marriage to him is so different than my first .We respect our barriers .But the plus is he speaks very good English . He doesn't like the bar life . Now has a few beers talking to his friends . He is a responsible working man . This marriage feels good to me and I have no doubts at all with him .But can't say that with my first but I was very nieve and stupid with my first .let him off with a lot of stupid and insulting things . THANKS for letting me join the group
