Hi, I agree with some of you that the discussion can be on singles of BOTH sexes. I think anybody living alone away from their families faces problems... of various kinds. However, the most important issue is parental and family support. If a single person does not have that, then it is HELL living alone - I know, I am a single woman living alone since a few years, my parents live in the same city, and NO I do not have their support - so it is more difficult to deal with the situation. My humble request to families, please learn to support a person's desire to live and work alone, to be independent. There is nothting wrong with wanting to make a life of your own, so please respect a person's desire to do so!
To all those single men and women living alone, be strong and never forget your values - therein lies your strength!
