Life In Sosua: When the Condom Breaks...



Usually I buy the classic condoms which comes in a light blue box here in the Dominican Republic.  However one day when I went to supermercado pola they didn't have any. So I decided to get one called invisible. 

That decision would end up costing me a pretty penny because about a month later and in another city outside of the Sosua area I ended up using the "invisible condom" which  really lived up to its name. 

I remember looking down and seeing  my "head" was uncovered. Immediately I was very concerned because I 100% knew I released the swimmers deep inside shorty's ocean. 

Fortunately shorty wasn't interested in having my baby, mostly because she already had some. 

I think I spent 10,000 pesos on something similar to plan b here in the Dominican Republic. Also on top of that I spent something like 5,000 pesos for her to go to the doctor just to see if she was actually pregnant. 

The reason I was paying for it was because she didn't have any insurance, which I haven't done any deep research, but I imagine that that is pretty typical. 

To be honest my mind was extremely preoccupied with the situation, because being a father is a big step and something I can honestly say I'm probably not ready for right now. 

My mind was put to ease for a moment when we had a chat sitting on the malecon. She told me she wasn't pregnant anymore. When she told me the news I wanted to get her something so I gave her 2000 pesos to spend at La Sirena, which is a Wal-Mart-esque store. 

I felt better that my story with her was finished. I stopped talking to her. 

But then she messaged me like a week or two later saying that she in fact was still pregnant! 

I had to pay like 10,000 more pesos for her to go to the doctor to get a sonogram or something like that. 

At that point I was plotting on how I can have a happy secret family. I looked up things on google on how people broke the news about their love child to their parents and what not. I had a lot on my mind. 

Basically the end of the story is a very "Hills Like White Elephants" type situation. I suggested adoption she thought I was crazy. She wanted to keep the child. I spent more money. I didn't talk to her that much outside of money stuff. She decided she didn't want the baby and decided to get rid of it. 

That cost me 80,000 pesos. 

So, the moral of the story is do not buy "invisible" condoms or just don't buy condoms from the  supermercado pola in Sosua.
