Dear Bella,
I know I have heard people make fun about the soldiers who were in Dominica during the passage of Hurricane Maria but my story is no joke.
And before any one of you judge me, let me just say I am human. Bella after the storm I met this guy. Let us call him Kwame. He was one of the soldiers who came here to assist the other police officers here. He was good to me.
He made sure I was alright and he made all my fears about Hurricane Maria disappear. I won’t go into details but we became close and did everything lovers would do.
Anyway, it was time for him to return to his homeland and he gave me his overseas number. He already had my Dominica number.
Bella, I haven’t heard from him since. I called the number he gave me and it doesn’t exist. I also looked him up on Facebook after he left and he doesn’t seem to even be part of planet earth.
I went to the police station and asked for him and the officers there didn’t know him by the name he gave me.
Some of them even had a look on their faces like I am crazy. Bella I am not crazy. I fell in love with a wonderful man.
The only crazy thing about this is that he has vanished and I can’t seem to find him. I’m thinking of taking a trip to go over to Barbados to find him. What do you think I should do?
The Soldier Girl

Hello Soldier Girl,
It is obvious that your soldier lover ensured that you won’t be able to contact him once he’s left.
And as much as this may hurt, it is the truth. Let’s look at facts here. He did not give you his real name.
That’s the first indication that this man had no intentions of keeping you in his life.
He gave you a number that doesn’t exist. It’s also quite clear that he does not want you to contact him.
You can’t find him on facebook and he has not tried calling you since he left. Now tell me, why would you think of even travelling to Barbados to hunt down a man who doesn’t want to be found.
My dear friend, I want to encourage you to take time to know someone before you decide to open your heart to them.
We should guard our heart because everything we do flows from it.
Best,
Bella

Woman you in a bush and get a big wood then seat on it. Tell me what you feel after… DUMB BELL
Bella/DNO I see you’re being selective in what you all want to post. Why open this forum for public opinion then you all want to pick and choice what to post. All i said the story was fictitious whats wrong in my belief? Anyways in order to grow you must be able to receive comments that you are not privy to knowing seating inside that Box…
But a joke that there man?? Why is it that our Dominican women are so stupid to the point that they fall in love with the wrong person? Open your EYES girl! He played you hard so that he can get the panties. Some of our girls need to take the time to look at the characteristics of a man instead of letting their hearts fool them. Educated yourself my girl! Because if I was a parent, I would have not let you do that kind of nastiness with soliders…that could have diseases!
Ki sot sa mamzel is a big tebeh a kick i would give her.
Let me tell. I never see an arbewbew like that
Good for her.
Before a foreign man touch down in Dominica

So many of them ended up with soldiers babies after hurricane David without no child support.

con’t…/ ,it illustrates how allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse, involving UN Personnel are managed.
FEAR. LOVE AND NAIVETY
Civilians are cautioned to beware of acts of exploitative relationships, among other transgressions by peacekeeping forces and special political missions. It is well for the heart to be naive and for the mind not to be. My young lady quickly familiarise yourself with it, that sexual exploitation and abuse are the modus aperandi of Peace Keeping forces worldwide. Sexual activity with minors and actual / threatened physical intrusion of a sexual nature by force or under unequal or coercive conditions are common. Peace keeping forces generally abuse the position of vulnerability, differential power or trust, for sexual purposes, including, but not limited to, profiting monetarily, socially or politically from the sexual exploitation of another. In a recent UN peacekeeping – management of reports and allegations, involving UN personnel in peacekeeping and special political mission,… con’t…/
Why was she on d coast guard base in the first case
Bella,
Here in lies the problem with your advice. If she had led with her brain rather than her heart, she would not even be talking to you.
The brain is much smarter than the heart. I stopped loving with my heart a long time ago. I don’t trust my heart to make good decisions. My brain on the other hand, has not misled me.
