My ex and I had a good relationship. He possessed all the traits I wanted to see in the man I would marry. He said I was his ideal woman too. Everything between us was perfect. Until we went to the hospital and ran some tests.
We found out that we have the same genotype, AS. We were deeply in love but we had to break up. It took me a lot of time to heal. The good days and the bad days came but I went through them.
By and by, I recovered. When I felt ready I put myself out there. Thatβs how I met someone recently. He is a military officer.
This man treated me so well that I became afraid to ask him about his genotype. βWhat if I find out that we are not compatible? Then I have to walking away from him?β I am AS so if he is also AS like my ex, I would have to let him go. If not, our children will get sick.
Just the other day, I gathered courage and asked him, βHave you checked your genotype?β
He just texted me saying, βYes, I am AC.β
I can't sleep. Why do I keep meeting people I am not compatible with? Is this always going to be my reality? I'm growing old. I turned twenty-five recently. How many more years do I have to wait before I meet a man who is not a carrier?
