Well, my mother has sickle cell anemia and I have the sickle cell trait. I was in a relationship with....hmmm lets call him...what he is lol....The EX.....well before he was the ex, we contemplated marriage, kids, the whole shebang. Well several times I mentioned that he should see if he had the trait because I didn't want to have sick kids, as I've spent my life dealing with my mother's illness, I couldn't imagine how I would feel with it being my child, and he already had a healthy son of his own.
So mind you we broke up over a year ago....spent the last year doing the back and forth, lovers and friends, FWB,
Well today, he sends me a text that simply read "I have the trait..."
As I read it, a few thoughts crossed my mind. I wondered why he sent it, why he felt it relveant to share, and seeing as we were no longer doing things that would in fact create a child why it still mattered to me....as these thoughts crossed my mind, I said to myself "Self....quit tripping just text this fool and ask why he
And as I shook my head and put down my phone so I could park (yes I text and drive...yeah I know its bad yadda yadda), I just figured I would go with his reasoning and not do my whole female thing and overanalyze.....which is something he CONSTANTLY tells me to stop doing.
So, for now, I'll live with that reason, until he decides to switch the game up AGAIN and bring it back up a few months from now LOL
Wow. I should get checked although I am pretty sure no one in my immediate family has it my great grandmother had the trait. You can never be too sure about those things.
