Wow, this is a difficult situation really. However, if I were in that situation, I will forego going into marriage with the lady. Tsly, you brought up a VERY important thing that a number of people ignore before marriage: testing for blood type.
You see the problem with AS marrying an AS is that, even though there is only a 25% chance of having a sickle cell (SS) kid, there\'s no guarantee that it could be only one kid out of four that will have SS; it might turn out that ALL the kids will be SS. It is very expensive to maintain one not to talk of a situation of having three or more. It is a very miserable situation to be in for those who have the experience because the kid suffers, you suffer, and you necessarily run through emotional and financial pains.
Also, I believe that you will indeed find another true love if it\'s meant to be that way. Some people say that \"LOVE IS BLIND\", which I don\'t agree with. \"INFATUATION IS BLIND, WHILE LOVE IS REAL AND UNSELFISH\" Anyway, the bottomline is that it\'s good to check your blood type. Of course, if you are AA, then there\'s nothing to worry about; marrying your love, regardless of blood type, will result in kids without SS, which is a good thing!
