Good day, amazing people of the Hive Blockchain. Welcome back to my blog. It is another edition in the #hiveghana community. I am so delighted to participate in this week's prompts, love and reality.
Love is indeed a beautiful thing when you are with the right person. Most times I always ask myself some questions about whether love is enough to keep a relationship. I get to find out that love is not really enough; there are a lot of things that should be looked out for. Most times when people fall in love, they fail to look out for the necessary things; to them, they are blinded by love, but when the heat becomes too much, they will be seeking for help, while at the beginning, they were blinded by the so-called love.
There are certain things we should look out for so that the kids will not suffer in future issues. Genotype is one thing that should not be neglected in a relationship. Before you enter into a relationship, the both of you should be able to know your genotype before you fall in love with each other.
Coming down to the question, you are ready to marry the love of your life, and at the last minute you notice that the both of you are sickle cell carriers. What will you do? Hearing the news, I will be so heartbroken because this is someone I have started planning a future with. I will be so devastated and depressed at this point. I have to withdraw to save myself from the stress. I can’t stand to see my kids suffer because of ignorance or so-called love.
There are things that love can conquer, but when it comes to sickle cell, love can’t conquer it. It is better to walk out of the relationship than to suffer yourself and the innocent kids because in due time you will start facing the consequences of your actions; you will not have peace of mind because the money you are earning will be spent in the hospital. At this point you may end up blaming yourself, and the love will start fading away.
Indeed, it will be a hard decision to take, but I have to let go of the relationship. I will not go ahead with the relationship even if it is a few seconds to the marriage. I, Cindy, will cancel it because I don’t need anything that will frustrate me or my unborn kids in such situations. For the fact that I am aware that my spouse is a sickle like me, I will walk away and take my faith.
I will always tell people it is very important to know the genotype of your partner before you fall in love. The only situation in which I will ask my spouse for their genotype is if I am AA, which means I can marry any genotype.
Of a truth it will be painful, but that is the best decision I will take to save myself from stress and my unborn generation from pains as well.
This is my entry on the weekly prompts #hiveghana.
