I get that there's this reflexive instinct to assume that millennials marry less because of some free love/third wave feminist/GIRLS-style fantasy, but the numbers increasingly confirm the obvious: we're a generation horrified by divorces devastating our friends' families. https://twitter.com/WilcoxNMP/status/1327281578985263104
Most of my friends who are adamant they don't want to marry don't sleep around excessively or have Malthusian climate change fears. They just saw their parents cheat, lie, have horrible (or no) prenups, and then take their divorces to court and society gossip.
Boomers: We're going to entrench a debt-funded entitlement system that requires us to have a far-above replacement birth rate.
Also Boomers: We're going to cheat on our spouses incessantly, have horrifically public divorces, and then whine when our kids don't want to have kids.

Not only do millennials sleep around less than the actual free love generation, Boomers, but we also cheat less than them, and that's pretty remarkable in an era of failing trust in just about every institution. https://ifstudies.org/blog/who-cheats-more-the-demographics-of-cheating-in-america
