Bunmi and George met through a mutual friend and George was really interested in getting into a relationship with Bunmi. Before he was introduced to Bunmi, George was in a relationship with Michelle. He loved her so much and had plans to get married to her. However, just before he made his marriage plans known to Michelle, he figured out that she had a genotype that was incompatible with his.
This discovery was so painful that he could not get over it for more than a year. It affected him terribly and so he vowed that such would never occur again. Based on George's past experience (Michelle), He did not want to get emotionally attached to Bunmi before discovering whether they were compatible genotype wise and so he brought up the question during one of their discussions.
Bunmi got really upset about this and George could not understand why it was a big deal. "Would you rather we get into each other only to discover that we are not compatible genotype wise?" George asked. "Well no, but I just don't think it is the right time to ask..." replied Bunmi.
"I am sorry Bunmi but I don't intend to waste your time and the sooner I am sure that genotype would not be a hindrance to us getting married, the better for me..." Said George
Many people have expressed different concerns about the issue of Genotype. While some think it is not an issue to be discussed immediately you meet someone, others think it is better to get that sorted right away before you 'catch' feelings (I.e. get emotionally attached) and realise that you cannot be with the person you really want to be with.
What's your idea or opinion on genotype? Is it a question that should be asked before you start a relationship at all? Is it too sensitive an issue and as such a no go area? Should people wait till a certain time in their relationship before they talk about it or trash it right at the beginning?
Please we will appreciate your thoughts and comments on this.
Thank you so much for stopping by. God bless you. Have a fantastic week.

Without mincing words, two people who are genuinely interested in each other should not wait until their ship gets into the middle of the ocean before raising the candid genotype question. That question should never be left unattended at all. It's the defining pillar of a relationship and prospective marriage. The fact is, if feelings are already invested in a relationship before the genotype question comes up, letting each other go could be a Herculean task once it's established that both of them are incompatible - genotype wise. Ask the genotype question FIRST, before falling in love.
