Are You Single? Problems You Will Face

Everyone needs a partner to share his/her life, to love and be loved and to be there for each other. Men and women have to live together, according to rules of the nature. Unfortunately, this is not the case all the time. Due to various reasons, men and women prefer to be alone.

You are just not able to find someone to spend your life with, you prefer to be alone, and you have other commitments to fulfill that give you little time to be with someone else.

Responsibility
There will be no one to share your responsibility; this is one of the problems of being single.

Boredom

You will end up having the same routine day in and day out, you will have no one to cook for, you will not have any company to watch television, you will not want to do tomorrow what you do today because you are bored doing it alone. All these can be problems of being single.

Being Scared
Women who live alone will face this problem. They will be scared if they hear any noise in the middle of the night or would be scared to walk home alone in a lonely alley. These are the problems of living alone. You will not have anyone to look to when you are scared and lonely.

Loneliness
Loneliness is one of the biggest problems of being single. When you have to walk in after work to no one, it is a not a very nice thought.
