WANTING KIDS:I don't! -so how does one compromise on such a big decision

[Bex]

with a partner who does want kids? Are kids necessarily the main reason for marriage? I'm not sure if I'll ever want such a responsibility. I'm not a patient person so I can honestly say that hearing often about parents who have done awful things to their kids in the news never sounds alien to me, as I can see myself being pushed to similar behaviour. So how do you go about preventing such future tragedy and yet saving what already is a perfectly good long-term relationship? Can there ever be any compromise when it comes to having kids? Is it right to risk a child's life with my only 'potential' maturing? Would it be best to sacrifice the relationship instead to save a potential life from ruin or worse? So many questions.
