When couples disagree about wanting children

My partner and I have been trying to decide about having kids for two years and we keep having the same circular conversations where I say I'm not sure and they say they definitely want children and we both end up feeling like we're waiting for the other person to change their mind. We love each other but this feels like it might be the thing that breaks us.

What we've seen

Two people are discovering that their fundamental desires for their shared future may be incompatible, and neither wants to be the one to end what they both value.
