I would think being alone and lonely would have to be the better of the choices, even as bleak as it sounds. There is hope of meeting that "someone" who will brighten all the dark corners of your life.

I know from personal experience that being lonely with some one sucks all the life out of you. What makes this even worse is this person is the one that used to be at the very center of your life. Now you don't even know them anymore. So what do you do? You just keep hoping things will change for the better but it seems like they never do.
