Brace up ur self

blink182: I am SS, even before the girl agrees I already know her genotype and verify when the relationship starts proper. You exposed yourself to this pain, suffer the pains and have a mental scar so that next time this situation will never allow this happen.

blink my brother, there are some people who will not want to disclose there genotype (or don't even know it) untill they are sure where the relationship is headed.

I met a girl some years back and asked about her genotype, she didn't know. I later gave her money to go for the test, she used the money for other things. after 18months of dating(on and off) she fell ill and her sister ask the hospital to run a comprehensive medical test. It was only then she found out that she is AS, I had to move on. But she wanted us to still continue, cos it was abrupt, I refused.

sandylurv: My relationship in which I had so much hope, where I found true love and hapiness, where nothing else mattered to me in this world has just come to an end because of genotype incompatibility (AS-AS).

I feel shattered ,broken, pained, disconsolate, heavy-hearted, sorrowful, aggrieved, wounded and bruised. My heart bleeds terribly, I've cried myself to sleep several times(usually I feel better after a good cry when I feel bad) but I still don't feel better. I find myself blaming nature, my stupid genotype, and God....I loved him, I still do, with every fibre of my being.

Oh God,we had ‎​so much in common, ideas, views, beliefs, birth month, family structure,physical attributes etc.I know for sure,I'll never find anyone like him **sobbing** Until now,I neva believed any human cud feel this much pain.

The amount of pain I carry in my heart at the moment is such that I keep wishing for death, maybe I would find some peace there. I cant say but maybe I feel dis bad cuz it seems soo easy for him. He has moved on, barely one week after.Maybe its just my imagination but it was really easy for him. I don't know if its usually so easy to let go of someone you truly and really love.

He was everything to me, he made me very happy, my world went round because of him, and now, my world feels so empty without him. We had decided to go ahead initially, with the plan of having CVS with each pregnancy but he is too scared to take that chance. This is the saddest thing that ever happened to me all my life. I still want him. Imagine finding someone you love completely, and finding all u ever wanted in that person but still not be able to have that person.

I'm praying to God for strength to carry on (even though I must be truthful, I'm sorry, but my faith and belief in him has greatly dwindled) as I really don't wanna do anything nasty.I don't understand why God would sit by and watch me go through dis and not intervene.

Any words of encouragement to help me go through dis would be appreciated, as I don't really have my friends around me at the moment and I feel so lonely in this world, plus I really needed to bare my heart one way or the other.

I hope I feel better after this. God bless you.

Sandylurv, I feel your pains. I know what it means to lose (not in death) someone you truly love. I am still struggling to get over my own lost. When my girlfriend broke up with me for her own fault, I thought I was going to die. Suicide was an option. I lost interest in things I love to do. I cried all nights for weeks. I am still broken, wounded and hateful.

Just like you, I had so much hope in the relationship, we were happy in the relationship. She completed me, she was the voice of my life. We were best of friends, we treasured each other like gold, we vowed to live for each other. We did a lot of crazy things for our happiness, we hugged each other for comfort. She made me promise never to leave her, and I was sure I would never leave. I gave in everything I could without reservation. Against all odds, I wanted a life with her. She made me love her with every breath in me. All my life I never loved a girl as I loved her. We were only 4 months old in the relationship, but I was ready to risk it all. I adjusted my life to be with her for the rest of my life. I compromised myself to see her happy. We promised to stand by each other even if the sun does not shine tomorrow. It happened so fast, she changed over night and walked away just like that and never wanted us to talk about it. It was so strange. May be she found a man to prey on. I know she is guilty, and never stop calling to find out how I am doing. I have stopped picking her calls; I want to forget about her and be happy again. Surprisingly, I still love her even tomorrow. In my spite, I was compelled to accept that "Women are almost the same". I wish I could recreate them.

I bet, you will live through it. He was not the best man for you. You assumed he was the best man for you. God will never give you a man who is best for you today, but a man, an Angel who is best for you today and tomorrow. Build yourself around exciting friends. Everything happens for a reason and purpose. God is taking away disaster in your path. Tomorrow matters, not today. God wants you to be closer to HIM. My experience draws me closer to God. Looking back in memory will make you miserable. Make friends with your bible, you will find comfort. Those who care never walk away no matter what. God will always be GOD. He gives us what HE wants us to have and not what we want to have. I believe in prayers. I believe in HIS word. Read Psalms 06:02 - 10.

Cheer up

Deacon Frost: Am a survivor, born with SS and lived with it for twenty years bt all those years i neva tot of it bcoz my goal was to bcome a beta person, i neva took drugs nd i only slept in a hospital bed twice coz i had typhoid, bt 1 day d lord remembered my cry nd i got healed wen i was doing my visa application, i was shocked wen i saw AA,O+, SO my dear God cn do it 4 u jst believe him and he wud visit u 1day, dnt wori ur man wud cme sumday wen u wud find anoda luv, be strong and be faithful even unto death coz there is greater glory dat awaits u, God will heal u

You were never a SS or you are just spitting bullshyte thinking it will fool some people.

I have heard of people who had their genotype changed from SS to AA. But am yet to really see anyone.
I am a christain and I believe in miracle, but not the kind of American Wonder Abracadabra we have in Nigeria.

were all going to die one day so there's no point judging eachother because of genotype, live the moments you are granted to the fullest, having a good genotype wont stop death...

Wow! I didn't know it was such a huge issue, this genotype thingy and all. I mean, so AA genotype is like gold? Maybe its because I've always known I'm AA so I've not even been bothering about genotype.
@OP, so sorry u have to go through this, but something better awaits u. U just averted a bigger crisis so in that u shd be thankful. Hugs..

flexya: Off all the 20yrs or so I stayed in UK, genotype was not a word I heard let alone considered in my relationships. Same was the case wit my friends and associates. When I returned 2 Naija, I learnt it is a big issue. So my question is, why? Do they av more advanced solutions 2 "genotype incompatibilty" in western countries or are they less concerned about welfare of offspring.

For those who come on NL just 2 yell insults, walk away. I am interested in being educated.
whites don't have the sickle cell trait..they are all AA.Even at that they've got advanced technology to detect a foetus with the trait early.But I think it's best to avoid it all the same.That's why it's best to know each other's genotype and other medical info before getting so committed in a relationship

Let me be candid here. Sh*t happens. You will find someone else. No one woman is meant for one man. Forget the love in tokyo and tales by moonlight stories. Yes it hurts, Give it a couple of months, start going out, you will surely meet someone else. There are over 2billion men in the world. You cant tell me your ex is the only one that has the characteristics you're looking for. There are probably 1billion men who are worse than him and also 1billion that are better at everything than him.
@Those saying they had parents who still married even though they are AS. Their time was different. A lot of them didn't know their genotype until their first child probably started falling ill. We are now more aware. We know the implications. IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE TO GET MARRIED KNOWING YOU MIGHT HAVE A SICKLE CELL OFFSPRING. THink about the unborn child. Are you being fair to it? There are thousands of AAs all over. If you know before hand that you are As, move on and find somebody else
