Answer:
involuntary stable single.
Explanation:
Peter Stein in 1981 identified four types of people who never get married. Their decision of not getting married is based upon their attitude towards marriage.
The four types of single people can be categorised as voluntary and temporary single, voluntary and stable singles, involuntary and temporary singles and involuntary and stable singles.
in the given case, James can be identified in the group of involuntary and stable singles.
An involuntary and stable single is the one who does not want to be single but tends to think that it is permanent and stable. This group of people find it difficult to find the right mate because of lack of older, single, and well-educated finding of mate. This category of people usually consists of well-educated and successful people. Since they are not able to right mate, they choose to stay single.
James, in the given case, is a divorcee, who is actively seeking a mate but not able to find one. And because he is not able to find the right mate, he chose to stay single permanently. His choice to remain single was not voluntary but involuntary.
So, the correct answer is involuntary stable single.
