I don't know if you can really call it a trope if it's one of the number one reasons people actually break up in real life... it's not an intrinsically bad thing? This is why people have the "life goals" conversation before marriage usually, and if those goals change as you get older, it becomes an incompatibility you really can't overcome. One party or the other will be resentful if they have to give up their own desires.

It's a trope because it's a commonly used way of breaking up a couple when the usual kill one of them/have them cheat on each other fails on the spin the wheel of relationship doom. It's a nasty trope because it's related to the "I didn't want children but oops and now it is the only thing that matters in my entire life" trope and both erase and shit on the childfree character since the person wanting a child is always shown to be the one in the right and/or the one who gets to stay in the show.
