This is a straw man. The comment you're replying to never made a mention of divorce rates increasing over time. They only talked about divorce rates increasing with respect to number of previous partners.

If it was a formal debate sure, I'm more riffing on the original comment. I should have said something like "relatedly."

I would agree having dozens of short relationships and not being able to commit to something, even just a core set of friends, probably isn't great. So person I replied to is perhaps right there.

But idealizing a young marriage I think is stupid and should be criticized and is directly related to 1950's housewives not being able to leave their relationships.
