Question

To single girls. Have your parents told you the ideal man that you should marry? Or don't they care?

Answer 1

Yes. I ended up marrying a 'good for nothing common convict' according to them. But I love him dearly.

Answer 2

no, my parents just brought me up well and trusted that I would find a man that i love enough, and who loves me enough. all that matters is that im happy.

Answer 3

My parents just said (from the age of 19) that they wouldnt care if i was to get married or pregnant so long as he treated me well (and if i was to get pregnant i would have to have my own home)

i think they jsut want to see me happy..

Answer 4

my mum and step dad are christians so they want me to marry a nice christian bloke but my dad just wants me to marry a rich bloke so we can look afta him in his old age lol

Answer 5

Yes they have.. and I went the complete opposite direction! lol

Answer 6

i am grow up with the affection of my father only far away with my mom...but now my father passed-away so im alone in my life with my siblings..my father raised me very well teach me so much how to take care myself and how to depense with other...i thought before he is so very strict but now i realize he only want the best for me...he not told me about the ideal man bcos i remember he marry my mom bcos he thought my mom is the ideal girl for him but once they married they separate so for me...there's no ideal person..and totally im not believe he doesn't care for my good future...what my father want is a real man that can takecre of me and marry me for what i am...

Answer 7

my mom keeps on telling me about the ideal man.. about the kind of guy i should be marrying but i guess this reaction is quite normal because they have raised me with so much love and affection, always fulfilling all my wishes and they don't want me to get married to a useless person who can't really keep me happy because eventually i will be the one hurt.. and parents can hardly see their children in pain... that's why they keep on counseling us about the type of guy we should get married to ...

And according to me, parents who don't tell their children about the ideal man doesn't mean that they don't care but maybe they just trust their daughter's decision and will accept the guy their daughter has chosen...

well.. this is my thought...  

Answer 8

Yes they did. They never liked any of my boyfriends. They seem ok with my husband.

Answer 9

My parents never told me who they wanted me to marry.  They just hoped I didn't end up with a loser I think.  They weren't all about controlling my life.

Answer 10

Not my parents, my godparents have tried to set me up with a nice man they have known for years.

We met and had a nice conversation. Thats it.

He was very into me, however I was not so much into him.

I know they mean well, but I think Ill find my ideal man when I see him.  

Answer 11

they just want us to be happy
