Hi all - I'm a journalist from The Times researching a feature about expat husbands.

We've all heard of expat wives, but in the 21st Century, it's just as common for a man to follow his wife's work abroad.

We'd like to shine a light on this ignored section of society, and hear what it's like to be the husband looking after babies and lunching in Hong Kong, whilst your wife works.

All it would involve is an interview (possibly over the phone or face-to-face), as well as a photograph of you.

Please get in touch if you fit the bill and fancy telling your story!

Thanks so much, Daisy

What if he followed his wife but doesn't just sit around all day?

I can't see there being all that many but there are plenty of men who moved to a new country when they married a local lady.

I would imagine, most have some sort of income and work in some way, shape or form.
Personally, I'm looking at selling my photos and comments about Indonesia to a top quality English newspaper.
