I think it's pretty clear what it means if you start reading from your own comment. You claimed that a history of promiscuity means nothing (and even blamed it on the parent commenter's insecurities, remember?) My response was that it signals higher possibility of ruined relationship in future. Which you somehow misread. That's it.

>you are free to divorce your partner and not end up financially ruined or

Maybe my writing is too unclear, or yours, but I'm not sure what are you trying to say. My claim: separation is not free, and loneness is not free. Which is in response to you writing that we should appreciate the ease with which pairs falling apart.

>How much is "normal"

If you have a phenomenon creating economical, mental burdens, strongly correlating with children life failures, how much of it you'd like to see? I guess as low as there are cases of real danger, marital fraud, or people lost to addictions. Which I suppose would be a single digit percent.
