Greetings!
Love is the basis of life and it's the foundation on which the foundation of life and the society is being built on.
One thing I have gotten to know about life and love over the years is that there's a place of love in a relationship and also, reality cannot be swept aside when it comes to relationships.
I got to know this in my findings about how people break up in marriage after they might have shown themselves love while courting, but after I have thoroughly examined different relationships and marriages, I later got to know that it's the reality of life that's causing all the breakups we are seeing around us.
Some time ago, a friend of mine at the university was in a relationship with a lady and they loved each other so much that everyone, including us, knew that they couldn't survive without one another.
Back then, wherever you see Kemi, that's you see Tobi and that's how they were living their lives back then, even both families were aware of their children's affairs and they were like couples already. Although they were not living together, I can tell you that they were love birds and were ready to spend the rest of their lives together.
So, fast forward after our graduation the university, everyone went their separate ways, but recently at an occasion, I saw Tobi and the first question I asked him was,
“How's Kemi?”
But, his response to the question was not what I would have loved to hear as he began to narrate everything to me.
He said Kemi and him were no longer together as both were AS and AS. He said they have discovered before going down the aisle but that because of the love they shared they went believing that they would overcome it even when both families were against their union.
He narrated the outcome of their relationship to me, telling me that after they had given their first born to an SS carrier, things went awful for both of them and that they are now regular customers at the hospital.
He said that's what led to their separation and that both have remarried to other spouses who are AA carriers and as for their daughter, she's in her mother's custody still spending money on her.
When I heard all he had said, I was moved and it's right at the venue of our discussion that I made the decision of letting reality prevail over love and emotions even if it's on the wedding day as i would not want to put myself into an unnecessary problem that can still be corrected before tying the knot.
Although it might be painful, I think that would be the best decision for me and even everyone to take so as not to put ourselves and the unborn generations into unnecessary pain.
Thanks for reading.

I don't really pity them, I pity that innocent child that was born due to their ignorance. People need to understand that heartbroken can never be compared to the pain a SS go through everyday. The love that will soon go sour when they see the pain of their child.
They ruined the child's life, imagine bringing an innocent child to the world to suffer, this is the real example of paying for your parents' sins...
