The main problem with point 2 in my opinion is with not being honest about one’s priorities. Otherwise, why would they marry and divorce, instead of staying single, or staying legally married but living separately?
There are rich men who essentially have a deal with their lovers: “I will knock you up, you will take all care of the baby, and I will abandon you at some moment in future, but I will give you enough money to raise the child without needing to get a job”. And both sides seem to be happy with the deal: the man keeps his career, and is happy about having reproduced biologically; the woman gets an early retirement.
Problem is with men who want the same deal, without being able/willing to pay enough money to make it a great deal also for the woman. (Assuming, stereotypically, that it’s the man who follows his career, and woman who stays with the kids.)

I do wonder what fraction of the times this happens that it was discussed openly and enthusiastically consented to by both parties.
