Maybe asking her to give him 6 months to think about it was the only way for OP to get some breathing space from her pushing him to decide. It doesn’t necessarily mean she’s assuming he will say yes - a lot of the time, using the stalling tactic means an unspoken “no”.
Oh yes some people want children and some don’t. That’s why it’s important to find out if people are compatible in that regards.

OP clearly stated he only wants one child. Not that he wants more kids later. They clearly aren’t compatible in that area but it’s not because there is something wrong with her wanting children. His lack of desire to not have kids isn’t superior to her desire to have more than one child. They simply don’t want the same things in life. Not compatible
