So this is from my personal life.
During the summer of 2023, I visited Germany.
I'm Russian (half Russian-Lebanese. 50/50 split), and the family I was staying with was Ukrainian. This was because my family knew this family very intimately.
The family consisted of a great grandmother in her 70's, and grandmother in her 50's, a mother in her 30's, 32 to be exact, and her son who was 6. Due to the war, they had obtained refugee status in Germany.
The husband of the 32 year old, who is also 32, was not in Germany, but in Ukraine. It is illegal for men in between the ages of 18 - 35 to leave Ukraine. It used to be 25 - 35, but they're getting desperate. Men are literally getting snatched off the street and thrown into a van to go to war.

To avoid this, the husband literally hid in his apartment for a total of three years.
Only very recently did he pay a human trafficker/people smuggler to illegally take him to Poland, where he made it to Germany.
Now back to the family. Before the war, they barely had any money for anything. My family would have to constantly donate to them my old hand-me-downs, as they couldn't afford basic clothing even though they were nurses and doctors. Very recently, I gave the 6 year old boy my old Washington Redskins hat, scarf, and mittens.
But the German Government is very generous to refugees, and they [the family] received a generous stipend from the Government. For the first time in their lives, they were able to travel to; Portugal, Spain, and Italy.
The poor husband came to his wife and kids, for whom he has not seen for three years, only to discover that the wife wants a divorce. Why? While she was in Italy, she met an Italian man for whom she has been dating.
The two elder women of the family are in tears, everyone else is perplexed and angry. It looks like she's going to divorce this poor man that she's been married to since I think aged 22 - 24? IDK.
