I broke up with my long-term boyfriend about a month into being here (though realistically it was more so the moment I stepped out of his car at the airport). Understandably, he was mad at me for not including him in my life plans to move abroad. He said it should have been a "we" decision and not just a "me" decision. But we were very different, and I don't think he's the type to pick up and leave all things comforting and familiar behind.
You hear all kinds of stereotypes about Tico guys. That they're possessive. Machismo. Cheaters. The first guy I met, sadly, didn't prove any of these to be untrue. He told me he had an "ex-girlfriend" in another country and they had a "don't ask, don't tell" policy when it came to dating other people. He then asked me if he could keep me a "secret." Two scenarios came to mind: 1) She's not actually in another country, or 2) she's not actually an "ex."
And... on to the next!
