Scenario

When couples discover they want fundamentally different futures

My partner and I have been together for six years and we want different things about having kids — not just timing but whether to have them at all — and we keep having the same conversation in circles. We love each other deeply but this feels like something we can't compromise on.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The depth of love is colliding with the impossibility of compromise, making every conversation both necessary and futile.
