Dear Aunt Noor,

I am a mother of three kids. My problem is with my youngest kid. He is six years old and enrolled in the first grade at school.

 

Aunt Noor,

I’m Malaysian girl living in Yemen and my boyfriend is Saudi. We planned to get married but we are still waiting for his country to give the approval letter. He already came to visit my parents and they agreed with our decision.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I have a problem with my marriage life. I have been married for six years but lately I feel that my husband has changed a lot.

 

Dear Aunt, 

I am a 34 year old expat, and have been married to a computer engineer for 4 years and have 2 children. Six months after marriage, I received a job offer in another city and I used to visit my family every couple of weeks.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

My problem is that my kids lie very much. I can’t trust them in anything they tell me. For example, they would tell me that they finished their homework but then their teachers call me and complain that they didn’t.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I am a 32 years old mother and I have five kids (3, 6, 8, 10, 13). My problem is with my kids. I can say that our life in general is chaos because of their actions.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I am a mother and I have four kids. My problem is with my oldest teenage daughter. Lately she started to gain many strange bad habits from her classmates at school.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I wish you could help me find a solution for my problem. I am a father of two children. The oldest boy is 24 years old and his sister is only 4 years old.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I am 23 years old. I am engaged to the most wonderful man I have ever met in my life. Our wedding is planned to be soon. Our love grows everyday more and more especially after we made the marriage contract.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I am a 45 years old man. I am married and I have two wives. Both my wives live in a different house and they never meet each other.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I am 25 years old. I have been married for about three months. My husband loves me very much but the problem is that he gets angry even with things that don’t need someone to scream or get angry.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I am a 26-year-old female. Two months ago, I got engaged to one of my relatives. Honestly, he loves me very much and he has been trying to engage me for four years. He is really a good person who I can count on, but he is not as rich as my family.

 

Hi Aunt Noor,

It has been quite a while since I last contacted you. Just to let you know about my relationship with the Yemeni guy, he has already informed his family that he wants to marry me.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I’m a 14-year-old boy. I always be the first in my school in grades. After my father traveled to Saudi Arabia and while I was in grade 8, my school’s English branch closed, so I studied in the other School branch.

 

Aunt Noor,

I'm writing because I've been the girlfriend to a Yemeni for the past 8 years, I love my boyfriend very much, last year he told me that he was married and had kids. We live in California, in different cities, I live in the city that he works in.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I am a thirty-year-old man. I am an unlucky person. I belong to a poor family and when I grew up and went to school, I faced a lot of unfairness. I always feel that people don’t love me.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I wish I could find a solution for my problem. I am a 20-years-old and I have been married for 18 months. My problem is that I used to love my cousin when I was a teenager but circumstances didn’t help us to be for each other.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I am 33-years-old. I am married and I have 4 children. The oldest girl is 15. My problem is I can’t stand my husband’s acts anymore. Even though I admit that he respects me very  much. He spends more than 10 hours at work.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

Hi, I really need your help. Recently I fell in love with this girl and she loves me as well. I talked to my family about her and I told them that I want to marry her because I feel that I will be happy with her.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I really appreciate your advice and I read your column every issue. I am 30-years-old. I have been married for 8 months and I moved to a separate house away from my family after I got married to my cousin.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I am an 18-years-old girl. Last year, I finished high school and I stayed at home this year. My problem is that I spent most of my time with my mom at home since I don’t work or study. I feel that she loves making problems to me.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I am a mother of five children (all boys). I have been married for 26 years. Since my children grew up and became men, problems grew more and more between my husband and my children.

 

Salam Aunt Noor,

Thank you for your explanation which I appreciate very much. For your info, the bad thing I heard about Arab men is that they used to be nice with foreign girls and marry them but once they brought the girls back to their country, they became maids.

 

Dear Aunt Noor, 

I'm a young about 20-year-old student. I came from my village to study in Sana'a and now I'm studying at a language institute. My teacher is a female who is two years older than me.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I am a 29 foreigner and in love with a man from your country. I am not an Arab. The problem that confused me more and more is that I had heard bad thing of how the Arab men treat their women.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I need your help and support. I know my problem has no solution but at least I can talk to someone who I trust. I got married four years ago and I live at my parents’ house. My mother and my wife make me crazy.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I am studying the last year of high school. As you know exams are less than a month away. The problem is that I cannot concentrate while studying. Sometimes when I finish studying, I cannot remember what I studied.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I have a problem with my husband. Whenever we have an argument, I am always the one who start talking to him and find a solution to the argument.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I have a problem and I need your help. I'm 19 years old and I love my uncle as much as myself. Two years ago, my uncle traveled. He seldom calls me and I sometimes call him. However, I study at university, and my teacher is very funny and friendly.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I have a problem with my oldest son. He is five years old. Three months ago, I gave birth to a daughter. Whenever he has the chance to stay alone with her, he treats her harshly and sometimes he hits her. At times, I hear her scream and I don’t know what exactly he did to her.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,                               

Thanks for your advice and comments. I always read them because they are useful and some of them help me to get over hardships.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,       

I am a student in the faculty of languages at Sana’a University, and I am a very brave student who wants to learn new things. When I began to study in the university, I met many good students, so I worked hard to be successful in my life.

 

Dear aunt Noor,

I am really in a hard situation. Seven years ago, my father died. After he passed away, I came from my village to Sana'a in order to study. I have two brothers who are migrants in Saudi Arabia and I am the smallest.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I am Hani, 25 year old and I live in Sana`a. There were some problems between me and my older brother, so I  left home and went to live in my grandmother’s house. Until now,  I  am still living with her and I am very happy, But a week ago, my brother left the house with his wife to his own new house, so my  mother asked me to go back home.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I am in my first year at the university and I always get high grades. I can summarize my problem by the following: I have no friends and I don’t know what the reason of that is.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I am master’s degree graduate. My salary is 30,000 riyal per month which really does not help at all. I need your help to find a solution for my problem?

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

 

Dear Aunt Noor, 

I would like to thank you for helping people through this corner. Aunt Noor, I’m a shy guy. I never talked to girls and sometimes either with boys. Now, I'm in college and from the first day in college, I fell in love with a girl. I always think of her and I can't get her out of my mind and I started feeling that thinking about her all the time would affect my level in college.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I am a 24-year-old man who lives with my brothers and sisters in the village. They raised me till I grew up. I studied at the university and now I have a good job as a teacher in the village. I decided to get married from a woman but my family refused her.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I would like to thank you for your advice to the questions I asked before. They worked with me thank you.I have another thing I want you to help me with. I know someone in the university. After I ignored him for many times, he asked me to give him a chance and listen to what he wants. He said that from the first time he saw me, he fell in love with me and he is serious about marriage.

 

Dear  Aunt Noor,

I made a mistake for the first time in my life. I disclosed my cousins secret, but I did not mean it. She warned me not to tell anybody even her mother. I found it a risk to hide it, so I told her mother because she was the only one who can offer good help to her by giving the right advice.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I have been married for 12 years but I don’t have children. The problem is from me, I traveled to different countries for treatment but all the results were negative. My husband is a very good man, he never talks in front of me about children or even that he wants to be a father.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I have a big problem and I hope you can help me. My oldest brother is controlling my life especially after my father’s death. He does not let me do whatever I want.

 

Dear  Aunt Noor,

I am 35-year-old, a single woman. I live with my father who has Diabetes. My mother died 12 years ago, and all my sisters and brothers are married.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

My problem is very serious and I am really upset about it. I am a student at the university in the first level. I always get low grades; although, I study hard and my level is not that bad.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

We are three sisters, each one of us lives with her own family, and our problem is our mother. Because of her difficult habits that no one can bear, our father divorced her. She is a person who can not be dealt with. She spent most of her time alone;

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I am a married woman with no children. I lived with my husband’s family until he became able to rent his own home. Later, my husband got sick with efflorescence. He hid the truth and asked strongly the doctor to not inform me about his disease, but the doctor told me that his disease can be transmitted to me at any time. I found that living with him will put my life at risk, so I decided to ask him to divorce me, especially that he hid the truth forgetting that I am his wife.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I am working in a good company that pays very well, it is really a good place to work in, but the problem is that they have not paid me during the last three months. I have no idea what to do.  I don’t want to leave this company because I have been working there for a long time. I applied in another company and I was accepted. So what am I supposed to do? Should I accept the new job or stay where I am!

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

My problem is my best friend is not my best any more, I met her when I was in high school, and she was a very good person. We became the closest of friends. We have lots of things in common. We decided to study in the same section at college, and we really did. Everything was ok till we finished the first year.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I knew an evil man through the net (chatting). After 3 months of talking, I discovered that we were colleagues!! We fell in love, and were supposed to get married some day. A year later, I was told that he got married to his cousin.

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I am a student at the university English literature. The problem that I am a very shy person. Most of our doctors ask us to give presentations and they account it and give grades for student who present. I tried many times to do it. whenever I stand in the stage of the hall I feel my heart races ,my hand perspire, my throat feels dry ,and my stomach may get butterflies ,so all of that prevent me to do it .

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

My problem is that I belong to a conservative family that never let their daughters study at universities. I finished high school and I want to enter university in order to finish my education. I tried to persuade my family but I could not because they don’t understand what it means to me. What I can do? Can you advise me please?

 

Dear Aunt Noor,

I am an ambitious person who has many goals and aims .I have faced many problem that destroy every thing that I try to build. I got low grades that prevented me from joining the collage I want. I feel hopeless and frustrated and I don’t know what I can do. Please Help
