Why would Americans be better husbands than (for instance) Germans or Brits?
If this is true, then I'll certainly bear that in mind next time a lonely expat American hits on me... lol !

Well, you must never trust what any European country says about their immediate neighbours.. it's all down to history of wars and disputes...
Of course, nowadays we all love eachother and agree about everything in the EU... lol
