Ending up alone?

[Baldur]

Would you feel like a failure if you ended up all alone without a partner to live with?

That will be really disappointing. :(

I think it is best summed up with a quote from the American version of the film "Shall We Dance":

''We need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet... I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things... all of it, all of the time, every day. You're saying 'Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness'."
