Although I'm one of those people who wished Frodo should have had a lady I can easily understand why he didn't.
Everything in life has a reason and there were millions of reason for why Frodo was the ringbearer. One of them being that he was an orphan and a bachelor so he didn't have parents or a girl who would be upset about what he went through and when he left.
This is probably why Frodo seems to have grown away from Merry and Pip at the end and why them two spent so much time getting closer to each other.
The only people he is very much attached to are Bilbo,Sam and Gandalf who he lives with in the undying lands anyway. Frodo was most likely healed there like Elrond's wife was and if you think about it, his sacrifice was good for him in the long run. He was allowed to live in the undying lands, the most beautiful place, with his loved ones among the most beautiful race. I think he got his just reward like going to heaven and when he finally died there I like to believe he went to heaven and met up with his parents etc and later on with all his friends when they died.
It's the tragedy that the Valar don't know what happens when mortals die that add to the emotion in the stories and also to the big sacrifice Arwen makes. But since it was once called the 'gift' of man I'm guessing it does imply a heaven.
Well as I said before, everything happens for a reason and in the end you get rewarded for the good you do, even if you get it not in this world but in the hereafter.
