That's actually true. The OP has nothing to worry about when it comes to actual fucking, probably. But...
I'm not the OP, but I feel like if I was in her shoes, I wouldn't
really be worried about my husband fucking the au pair. Even if he was insanely attractive to young women (he's not), and even if he had no morals (he does have morals), getting involved with the au pair would just be so, so, so stupid. Even for the most brazen King of All Assholes. The au pair lives under the same roof! There's no hiding it from the wife! It would last 15 minutes before the shit hit the fan in a truly epic way.
What would bother me in the OP's shoes is living with a man who is constantly staring down the shirt of a younger woman under my nose, under my roof. The feeling that I am competing with her for his attention, and can never win simply because I'm older. And it would do a number on my marriage to watch him ogle a young woman who is away from her country and probably pretty vulnerable, just in general. That is gross and creepy and a man worth his salt doesn't do that kind of thing.
Not to mention, I already compare myself to every woman I see out in the world, can I have some peace to feel beautiful in my own damn home?
That's kind of how I'm interpreting it for the OP, anyway.
The OP's DH apparently would at least throw the idea out there that the best au pair is the one showing the most cleavage. If a gorgeous au pair is in the house, he's obviously going to drool over her. So the OP is right not to want that whole weird dynamic in the house. Even though in reality, yeah, the au pair is probably not a direct threat in that way.
