I love animals (I mean, not having cats is sort of a deal breaker since I've had them--not the same ones--for almost 40 years and am not giving mine up for a man) and I would resent a partner who didn't want them. This is a far bigger thing than both of those combined. It is on par with religion or like, the decision to get married or just live as life partners.

You are right, we worry about that as well. If I want kids now I imagine at some point my childless life will feel empty. He does not want me to give that up for him and worries I will feel resentment but ultimately has put the ball in my court. I wonder if that desire to have kids ever goes away?
