I would say the person who doesn’t want kids agrees to have one. You don’t always get what you want. That’s part of being in a relationship and not being single. If my wife wants to live in the city and I want To live in the suburbs I’m not going to break up with her.
Yeah, no thanks.
Forcing someone to have a kid when they don't want one is a big no no. How is that fair to anyone involved?
Sometimes, things like this come up and a breakup is possible. That's life
My friend dated a guy for 5 years. Up front she told him she wanted kids and he said the same. 5 years in when they were financially stable enough for her to want to start trying for a baby he admitted he didn't want kids and never had. He said he only told her he wanted kids when they started dating because he knew she wouldn't date him if he said he didn't. She loved him very much but left him because they both wanted different things in life and there is no compromise when it comes to wanting kids and not wanting kids
Jesus, that's messed up. He pretty much wasted 5 years of her life when she could have been looking for someone that genuinely wanted kids.
Did the guy not feel guilty at any point stringing her along that long? My god..

It's unwise to adopt a pet together when both parties who will be responsible for its training and care are *not* onboard with the idea let alone create a new human being. There is no compromising when it comes to bringing a new life into a relationship. It's not like choosing a new sofa or house together, for goodness' sake, although you make it sound as simple as that.
That being said, when I was still dating, I refused to become seriously involved with a man who did not wish to have children. It was a top three deal breaker for me, in fact, as becoming a parent with a happily willing partner who also wished to raise a family was a long-held desire for me. There are certain things that you shouldn't have to convince someone to do or change about themselves; becoming a parent is one of them.
We’re couples who broke up due to one person not wanting kids and the other wanting kids really in love? When I think in love, I think of doing anything for the other person. I am skeptical of if these people were really fully in love.
You can love someone and still want a different life than they want.

It'a really great to be the kid who a parent never wanted.
From antiquity, marriage was the joining of property rights of two people for the benefit of progeny. If no children are desired, there is no reason to contract a marriage.
The woman can be a concubine, if she's supported.
If money changes hands, she's a prostitute.
One of my parents wanted kids and the other didn't.
Needless to say, my siblings and I did not have a particularly happy childhood.
