You can have a huge row and be divorced within a week.
You can’t here.
It’s the same in practice, as in just deciding to leave a person and fuck off and start filing and doing all the finance settling, (but just some local differences obviously) and then in 6-12 months you have to confirm it.
I’m not joking about Finland being a bureaucracy, quite literally. Nation filled with rulewhores, and mostly bigots making those rules, because due to the rules no-one gets in power who should and because there’s so many rules, nothing gets done because it’s not in full accordance with every single rule.
Finland is a really easy place to live in in terms of social security and whatnot, but not the best in terms of acceptance of differences or having any open mind in general. Or emotions, for that matter. Closed hearts, closed minds. Just blindly read the rules, or even just pretend to. I once actually quoted the law an government office said they based their decision on and pitily admitted I may be correct but that due to “overall analysis” decision will still be to deny my application.
Lol. Maybe it’s worse there, but that doesn’t mean it’s great here. I wish we could collectively find a happy medium where things are somewhat efficient while still having a reasonable safety net.

I could literally write a few books on it.

Worse, better, who knows. And I’m not really in a life position to even care so…
Just wanted to share differences.
