This. Having compatible plans and wishes for the future is vital for a long-term relationship. You don't have to agree with every little thing, but big, life-changing decisions like having children can be a deal-breaker.

What would be the other option? The partner who dreams of having children giving up on ever becoming a parent? The partner who never wanted to have kids forcing themselves into doing it?

Yeah I mean I get what the secret's point is and I don't necessarily disagree with it for what it's saying, but I wouldn't call this situation a 'trope' because it very much is a basic incompatibility issue that people have to make decisions about all the time. Seeing as in this particular issue, there's no real middle ground compromise (you can't 'half' have a child), breaking up unfortunately IS the compromise in a lot of cases.
