What if one person wants children and the other does not?
This entry names the decision as one that cannot be split down the middle: having a child, not having one, or ending the relationship are different outcomes. It lists the facts couples usually need on the table, including timing, regret, and whether either person is waiting for the other to change.
What this entry does not do
It does not tell a couple which of those outcomes to choose.
