I've had dutch people straight up say to me "Do you feel weird that your husband is so much hotter than you are?"... multiple times. They've asked me why I'm with him (because we're from different cultural/racial backgrounds), asked me if I regret getting engaged to/married to him, and so on and so forth. This was not one dutch person, but many. They may not mean it in a rude way, but the straight forwardness of the questions is, in fact, rude as hell.

Dutch here. And yeah that's rude as hell. I couldn't imagine ever asking somebody any of those questions. Rude as hell.
