What The Fuck
How do you mean? As in the husband's assumption or that you didn't know that?
Working with foreigners means I couldn't help but feel the parties displayed taint of arrogance and ignorance. But that's (sadly) probably because I take that description as a given.
My favourite is a solicitor who went to school, uni, and law school here. Was married to a UK citizen for +5yrs with a kid. Continously employed, higher rate, etc. but just kept using their work visa rather than getting a spousal or citizenship.
Even with all that getting a spousal visa was a nightmare every step of the way.

"Her husband, Robert, raised another issue: that Europeans married to Britons do not have an automatic right to citizenship. “As a British citizen, I had the expectation that marrying someone from abroad would automatically give them the right to become a British citizen. That seems to be the case unless your wife happens to come from the European Union,” he said."
What The Fuck... (and the whole rest of this)
