Pairing off will likely mean providing for your partner, and it will almost certainly mean providing for children. For the provider that’s a lot more expensive than living alone.
Musing out loud… I wonder how much TV has to do with the decline of shared households. Perhaps in the 1920s I would have happily lived in a boarding house with other unmarried workers. These days I’d have to really love someone to make myself subject to their choice of television programming, which is generally inescapable in a shared apartment.
