One does not need a spouse to overcome loneliness. Some married
ppl are also very lonely when they lose that emotional connection
and communication. With friends, involvement in hobbies and the
community, a single person won't have to feel lonely.
I'm married lah, but it comes with a whole host of obligations and
responsibilities, and loss of freedom to a certain extent. If I can
do it all over, I'll probably choose to be single.
