Is it though? https://blog.eurodev.com/costs-of-hiring-european-employees
Also, in Germany you have a lot of holiday (20 minimum, most companies pffer 30), 3 month notice period, 3 years parental leave (per child), pricing these in, I would always expect lower salary in Germany.

I merely emphasize the choice in his life, reminding that not all is lost.
Just because he does not divorce now does not mean that the partnership will hold.
Just because he breaks up and has kids with someone else does not mean that he will be happy.
Either way there is risk, and there is choice.
Choose wisely, Luke.

Because of the additional cost that the employer is imposed on by the state in Germany.
I bet that the total cost per employee is pretty close.

She does not have to, I am merely painting a possible path in a colorful way.

What do prefer?
Giving up on having kids and staying with your partner, trying to cope with regret. I bet the regret alreay takes a toll on the relationship and the probability is high that the relationship ends in a divorce either way. (Divorce statistics in your region?)
Divorce and find a younger and religious woman ready to have many kids. You might lose some friends and people might turn away considering your behavior selfish. But you would gain a family and that would be your world.
It is not too late to correct a mistake.
Re:Ask HN: Where do you find the interesting jobs?

Surprisingly, Linkedin.
While around 95% of stuff in my inbox is rubbish and generic postings, there are those 5% worth my time. Interesting companies, challenging and relevant problems.
But admittedly, having only 5% non rubbish already requires you to have a proper profile, with nice information about previous work and experience.
I do make it a habit of responding politely and negatively to most, with a quick one liner, but talking to a few even if I am happy with my job, just to find out what else is there and what is happening around me.
That is how my current employer, Tulip Interfaces has found me, and I have never before worked on more relevant and challenging topics.
Have a look yourself, https://tulip.co/, we are still hiring.
