This article is about time spent alone, which isn't intrinsically tied to the kinds of relationships one has (i.e. can be a thing you do more than a long-term state you're in), and which certainly is not the same as not being married or in a romantic relationship:
- those not in a romantic relationship can have friends, family or community that they spend a lot of time with, or not
- those in a romantic relationship can have time alone (chosen or incidental, as in distanced relationships), or not
In fact there's some evidence on single people having more friends. Perhaps describing unmarried people as "single" is fundamentally misleading, and says more about society privileging certain relationships than it does about the person being described.
