I am worried
Dear Obaa Yaa,
I am 35 years old, with no husband and no children even though it has been my wish.
I am becoming worried about the situation because of societal pressure, but more importantly, I would love children of my own but not without being married, because I know the problems associated with single parenthood.
What should I do to attract a man to marry me!

Dear Lady,
What else can you do than making yourself attractive, sociable, sharing your time and efforts to the cause of others to show care and concern for them?
You see, when you show love, you receive love. Make yourself attractive and you will attract.
Don’t sit at home and brood, go to church, attend prayer meetings, socialise with church members and for all you know there is someone also looking for someone like you.
You also have to pray to God to give you someone you can live happily with. It is not just getting a husband, but someone who is a husband in the real sense of word with respect and responsibility, care, concern and love for better or for worse.

My mum is always shouting at me
Dear Obaa Yaa,
I AM an 18 year-old boy who has lost interest in education following my failure to live up to expectation while in school.
As a result, I have quit school and that has made my mother the saddest woman of this earth.
She has invested so much in my education all by herself and the support of some of my relatives since my father failed to support my education and care for me from infancy.
My mother shouts at me in any conversation and tells me how I want to make her life miserable by not going to school.
I want to learn a trade instead because I am struggling with school.
Odame, Konongo.

Dear Odame,
I believe your mother did all she could to make life easier by giving you the best of education.
If you knew you had no interest in what you were doing, you could have alerted her earlier.
I am happy you have admitted that your conduct is disturbing your mother and making her unhappy.
If she is willing to continue supporting you, try and go back to school.
You can still go back to school and learn a trade.

He is taking advantage of me
Dear Obaa Yaa,
I entered into a relationship with a young man when I was at the University. We completed not quite long ago and planned to get married.
However, I find my man’s behaviour very strange.
For the past two years that we have been together, my man has not taken me to his house or introduced me to any of his family members.
I am not convinced about the future of this relationship.
Oforiwaa, Lashibi

Dear Oforiwaa,
If the man doesn’t want to introduce you to his family members, then he’s obviously not in love with you.
He has no plans to have any serious relationship with you in future although he might have promised you that.
Whatever he might have told you is perhaps to get you into his bed.
I guess you stated it right. This man might be fooling you. So don’t let him take you for granted.
