I just want a husband :(

My parents met when they were 15 and have been together ever since, and rather stupidly and naively I thought when I got older the same thing would happen to me, but unfortunately it hasnt and i've split up with my boyfriend of a year and a half for good. Thing is i hate having a boyfriend and dating, what i want is a bloody husband i know it sounds really old fashioned and many of you will think its ridiculous and completely unrealistic in this day and age so I'm thinking as I've got no chance of an arranged marriage perhaps I should just resign myself to be a spinster now, i've already got 2 cats lol

Totally know what you mean.
I haven't even really had a boyfriend and in my family people just haven't been lucky in love. I might end up down that same path. Oh well. Nothing I can do about it really.

I think you're assuming that if you have a husband itsless effort when it can actually be harder sometimes. Enjoy your time to meet people and do what you want when you want without compromising.

Why worry about these things now? Do you really want to get married at the age of 20? Just because your parents have done it, doesn't mean you have to.
What kind of cats are they?

Don't worry, I'm sure someone will come along someday. At the very least you'll probably be able to buy one online. :smile:
Well... That can easily be arranged. You can have two if you want.

woah slow down, Im sure that Very little people will be happily married at 20...
i have found the man of my dreams and would marry him now! if i had the money, did not need 6 years to become a lawyer and the acceptance from family as he is a different religion!

It sounds like your parents were lucky that they found one another at a young age (well, lucky from the point of view you take)

Unless you are specifically wanting to go out and look for a potential husband, i think you just have to go through the whole dating > boyfriend/girlfriend > marriage malarky like the rest of us. And i can guarantee we are not all going to end up spinsters.
lol to buying one online. I am sort of the same except i want a wife, although i don't necessarily want one straight away i am quite happy to fart around for a while im just not the type of person who will have about 10 partners before settling down with someone i imagine when it comes to getting married i will probably have had about 2 partners before hand.
But you need the boyfriend before you need the husband..why don't you like having one?

does he feel the same?
The more you pine for a husband, the less likely you are to actually find one.

Just take it easy. You're 20 and you want a husband? Why? Just live your life, and someone will come along. If you wander around despairing because no one has proposed to you, how will you ever make the best of a simple date? How will you allow a relationship to take its natural course?

Quite true! I found mine after swearing off men for life. We were friends first and then became boyfriend/girlfriend. Now we're married and miserable! (that was a joke!)
