Quote:
Frodo: Obviously alone, only hobbit of the Fellowship never to get married; passed into the West the soonest
Galadriel: Was a lot closer to Celebron before she received Nenya
Gil-galad: (Not sure, but) had no children, so probably no wife, killed
Círdan: Unknown marital status, but seemingly lonely post; never could make long-lasting friends, as everyone he met left for the West
Gandalf: Wanderer, distrusted by Men. Obviously had no equals, save the other Istari, who he seemed to avoid
Elrond: Wife left for Valinor; two sons fought for Gondor (meaning they did not stay home to help defend Rivendell), daughter married a Man
Gollum: Isn't it obvious?
Nazgűl: Again, pretty obvious....
Sauron: Really obvious....
Isildur: Not really a chance to become to lonely, seeing as he was killed....
Thráin: Wandered from Ered Luin to Dol Guldur accompanied by only his son (for some of the journeys)

You forgot Bilbo...LIke Frodo he too never married and had no children, save Frodo whom he adopted after the death of Frodo's parents.
The Ring certainly had an interesting effect on him as it kept him from aging in any naturaly way. What I found strange is that it didn't have more of a hold over him before he gave it up to Frodo. Sure Gandalf pratically had to threatened him to get him to leave it behind but still it didn't have that strong of a hold over him...
