It's a sign of hating your life.People take refuge in fantasy when their own life is full of shit.
Contrary to your assertion I find most of them have relationships in real life, many have children -- it's the realisation they are tied to a life of drudgery with a person who they despise that makes them yearn for something else.
There are a lot of hapilly-married coupkes with kids but I'd wager there are as many couples seething with resentment and looking for a fictional universe to escape to. This explains Harry Potter "for adults" too.

Escaping into a fantasy universe is one thingBut most soap operas seem to be full of drudgery, tedium and misery.
