In my opinion there are several reasons why people are alone:
1) Smartphone mania - we "forgot" how to communicate. People use smartphones to connect via social media and instead of talking to a friend face to face they rather "communicate" through social media posts. No good for a good and lasting relationship.
2) We cannot deal with "life" problems. Any relationship needs patience and ability to forgive. While our grandparents were able to say "sorry about that" or "please forgive me" I think younger people tend to be more self-centered and if there is a minor problem they just split up. We do not know how to deal with everyday problems.
Just my 2 cents.
