Is This How You Treat Her? Playing with ladies.
Infidelity is a major problem in relationships. It is the breaking of a promise of being faithful to a spouse or other sexual partner. Yunior is the major character in the book This is How You Lose Her. Yunior grew up with his mother and his elder brother Rafa in the Dominican Republic. He was the bold one, he used to go outside when his father says nobody should. He likes going out to play with other kids then. He did not have a good relationship with his father due to his father’s absence. This made Yunior more adventurous. He likes trying out new things, meeting new people and dating new girls.
