| Introduction | STUDS (Spouses Trailing Under Duress Successfully) is a casual, multinational group of males, most of us are trailing spouses in Belgium because of wives' jobs. We are hardly an organization in the formal sense - no constitution or bylaws, no committees. The purpose is networking and any events that happen by tradition or which individual members propose. The primary benefits of the organization are socializing in English (although many members are not from English-speaking countries), exchanging hints on life in Brussels, and finding others with similar interests. Major interest areas are sports, history, new technologies, literature, travel, exploring Belgium and environs and more, including a fairly active golf group. For some members, this is the first time to be the trailing spouse and/or Mr Mom and/or living outside the homeland. For them, STUDS provides an affinity group of kindred souls. Alumni of STUDS Brussels are scattered around the world, and many remain in touch. There are reunions in the US, and a parallel organization in London. |
