We need a better way to refer to people living with undesired and unwelcome singlehood. One expert suggests a term to capture their state of mind and their need for compassion.
It also extends to widows, who may suffer in their singlehood, not because theyto leave one behind. And single parents who put their love life on hold out of fears of unsuccessfully integrating a new long-term partner into the household might be left with negative feelings about this decision.
Dysphoric singlehood might even extend to time-lagged effects of earlier decisions. More and more people are opting to be single through choice, biding their time in the hopes of attracting the best partner possible. This choice might feel fine in the moment, but it could cause suffering later, as people deal with the realities of waiting too long—such as limited opportunities to start a family.
Sadly, most research on personal relationships focuses on those already established—investigating their form and function and trying to predict their trajectories. It could be argued, of course, that this research is valuable as it could help make relationships healthier and prevent breakups that could lead to dysphoric singlehood. But this is only part of the story and has limited benefits for those already experiencing it.
