singledom
Life without partner
Singledom is the state of being unmarried or without a romantic partner.
The word carries a lighter tone than *singleness* or *being single*, often implying a lifestyle rather than merely a status: She's embracing singledom after her divorce.
The -dom suffix suggests a realm or condition, as in *kingdom* or *boredom*.
