Well, RMS, I think I'd fight fire with fire. flamethrow Most of the men who insist on their wives agreeing to an "open relationship" find themselves at the rec center playing pool with other guys, unable to get a date, while the wife is out having a ball several nights a week, if she wishes to be. It will become much harder for him to find a single woman to date if she knows his wife is in town. It will be no trouble for you, especially if, as I suspect, you're going to be on a military base. As an American woman, you'll get hit on more than you can imagine. Do you mind telling us where you're going in Germany?
It's a beautiful country! Most of the bases are in southern Germany, lots of forests, mountains and lots of exciting things to do. Paris, Switzerland, Amsterdam, and several other fun cities are only hours away. I know the country fairly well and can give you better advice if I know where you'll be. Buy a red sports car, an Alfa-Romeo, Audi, or BMW. If you can't afford one, date guys who drive them, and borrow their cars to go shopping.
Say "Yes" to that offer for a weekend in Paris.
If your husband is an enlisted man or non-com, date officers. If he's an officer, date men who out rank him.
Do you want a never-ending list of guys wanting to date you? Get a job tending bar in an Officers' Club or working for the folks who sell Harley-Davidsons to American soldiers.
So pick up that chin, drop a few pounds if you need to, get a new hair style and makeover, and walk off the plane looking like one hot chick. Mrs. Alura suggests you save some money to shop for clothes in the German stores. The clothes are sexier and you won't stand out as an American except when you're on base.
After this goes on for awhile, he'll be coming around suggesting that y'all give up the "open marriage" idea. You can then suggest that y'all can try swinging instead, but don't cave in right away!
If he falls in love and decides he wants a divorce, you'll be the winner! You'll have gotten rid of him earlier. Mrs. Alura just added that if you've never been to Europe, you'll have gotten a free trip. How much fun that trip is depends on you.
Mr. Alura
