Of the numerous logical issues with this I'll choose to respond with:
They are still dying alone. The act is dying is something that one does while alive, correct? So, if their loved one is 'waiting for them in heaven' then their loved one is not with them as they are dying.

Ok yes when you want to get all technical.

Not exactly. If someone is in their presence during their death then they are not dying alone. They are dying yes. They are not alone.. You wouldn't say you were alone if you were in the same room with somebody. You just happened to be dying at that time.

That is if one of them didn't already die. (Guys this is morbid)

Being single doesn't mean you have zero responsibilities at all though, most people can't just disappear for months on end across the world. Go over to the work and employment forum and see how people who took a year or two off to travel (not including college students) are faring in the job market. It isn't pretty.

And in theory, you could do all that stuff in a relationship, you'd be a douchebag, but you could do it. Or if having sex with random strangers is that important to you, some chicks are into open relationships. But in general being single doesn't mean you don't ever have to take anyone else's needs into consideration, ever in your life.

I'm sure that will fall on deaf ears though.

To answer the question, I think there are good things about being in a relationship and being single. And bad things about each. It depends on what you want at a particular stage of your life. Neither choice is a bad or wrong choice. I do agree that it's better to be single than in a bad relationship and it's better to be in a good relationship than to be a lonely single person. But if you enjoy being single then so be it.
