This article is about people who don't have any romantic partner(s) and people who live by themselves, and discusses the difficulties of both states, both financial and emotional. It conflates the states in confusing ways at times (and by doing so, seems to exhibit the same kind of cultural biases it criticizes), but there's a lot of stuff to think about.

I'm recently living by myself because I'm recently widowed. I'm polyamorous so I still have romantic partners. I also participate to some degree in what the article calls "small systems of care for one another that go beyond one other individual."
