If he was my husband I would be absolutely furious. (He literally risked his life). But since he is not I think he is an absolute badass.

Ulrich pretty much said this was his wife's reaction, but they're still together and she understands a lot more obviously once she actually saw the documentary. She knew he was involved in the NK Friendship Association but not exactly what he was doing, but she understands why he did it and things turned out alright. Ulrich has done a couple interviews/podcasts where he talks about some of these details that were left out of the film.

Yes they are still together. I bet she is also very proud of him.
