It's sad. That's why if you do not want children, you should REALLY not have them.

This is such a sad situation!!! I agree that it's a dealbreaker too...if my DH was adamant about kids, we wouldn't have gotten married. It's as easy as that...we talked about this long and hard about all the "what ifs" like "What if one of us changes our minds?" and looked at our situations...
It turns out we like our lifestyle the way it is and aren't willing to compromise that (which we both know what a HUGE compromise it would be!).
This is the one situation which I truly believe there is NO compromise...someone will lose in the end...usually it's the child.
