r/Yemen

I'm a 33 yr old single mom, and alhamdulilah I'm proud of who I am today. I'm able to support myself and my kids, travel and enjoy my hobbies. But the shit I've endured as a wife and a sister has made me really dislike men. Now don't get me wrong, I believe there are good men in this world; but I really and truly believe that most Yemeni men are terrible. But I don't blame *them* per se: I blame their parents and how they were raised.

The fact that I can't even see myself remarrying should speak volumes. I subconsciously would see a Yemeni man walk by and automatically assume he's either a pervert with a holier-than-thou attitude or a cheater that believes women should never be seen or heard unless he allows her to speak. It's to the point where I dont trust any man and when my parents mention marriage, I automatically feel dread...like someone's talking about an impending doom.

I'm so content with my life today, but when I see the compassion and love between my parents, I also worry I will regret that I never gave the suitors a chance. But what kind of chance do I give desperate suitors who either was a u.s. visa, want me as a 2nd wife, or I simply don't care to know about?

My boyfriend family is from Yemen in Aden. All of his brothers and sisters were born in USA including my boyfriend.

His father wants to move the kids to Yemen to live there for a few years to become more cultured. My boyfriend is staying in America and he plans to use this time to rent an apartment with me since his parents are out of the country.

I am worried for his siblings since I am close with them.

in the usa there are Yemenis living in tiny apartments with their wife and 4+ kids but building houses in Yemen. this is very common here. it is hard for me to understand why they don’t improve their own living conditions instead.

Hello,

My Yemeni passport expired a few months ago, but I still have a passport (since I’m a dual citizen of another country).

I’m planning a trip to Yemen and was wondering if it would be acceptable to use my expired Yemeni passport along with my other passport to enter the country through Saudi Arabia (land).

I would greatly appreciate any advice or personal experiences you may have in this regard. Thank you.

I've been researching Socotra Island and noticed that many tour operators offer trips via Abu Dhabi. Since Socotra is part of Yemen, I'm curious about the practical experience of people who have actually been there.

Did you need any special permission from your home country?

Were there any issues when returning home?

Was your passport stamped, or was a separate paper used?

Did immigration ask any questions?

Would you recommend waiting until the situation changes, or is it fairly straightforward at the moment?

I'm not looking for ways around any laws, just interested in hearing real experiences from people who have visited recently.
