I don't think so.

Its called communication and compromise.....that's a BIG topic of communication before the wedding!! If love is the real foundation, things will fall into place.
No. A person who wants kids will continue to want. A person who doesn't want kids will not change his (her) mind. This kind of decision cannot be compromised.

@PoetryNEmotion Good to see you're back.

I hope all is well.
Yes. Know a couple where the guy did want kids and the woman didn鈥檛. But they are very happy together. And now the guy is glad they didn鈥檛 have kids.

I think it can, but it'll be hard. Having kids is a pretty major thing, and something people tend to yearn for in life. It's different when the person is unable to have kids and their partner has to accept that and find solutions, but when you are able to, but you're not willing to compromise, it can put a massive strain on a relationship. I don't think I'd be willing to be with someone who doesn't want to have kids. Either way, that conversation tends to happen early on in the relationship, fortunately.

I can't really see how it would work long term. One will always resent the choice of the other Im afraid.

If they agree on one thing or the other, sure.
If they truly love each other.
SW-User
Well, either one will decide on kids despite the fact they don't want them because their partner does

Or

One will choose to forgo children to remain part of the couple

Or

They'll argue but a hole will be poked through a condom

Or

They'll break up

I know of one that has. It depends how deeply the couple love and respect each other, and how committed both are to work out an agreeable solution.

@AbbeyRhode That's nice to know.

Not unless they live on a farm. It takes 2 to keep an apartment landlord form becoming suspicious. (what happened to my landscaping?)
NimbusM
@shuhak Got that one! :)

@Nimbus As long as I didnt get your goat.
Only if the person who doesn't want kids is willing to compromise... it could go either way. Could stay together but have hidden resentment OR it will work out..

Someone is going to be miserable which means both of them are. My niece divorced because of this.
NimbusM
@cherokeepatti Good point.
Nyloncapes61-69, M
I don't think so just my opinion, that issue will always be there, with both party's
SweetMae70-79, F
That could be very difficult. One person could end up resenting the other.

The husband could act like a kid...happens.馃お

@SW-User Nice one :)
probably not..unless it is arranged or etc.

I fail to see how that would be a good match. 馃
