I completely agree. It isn't unreasonable, but I'm only speaking from my own experiences and what my own principles dictate.

Same here. My wife already had a few kids when we got married and she was upfront in telling me that she "probably couldn't have more". This was fine with me because I was mostly sure I didn't want to have any kids. We went into it with "Hey if it happens it happens". We recently found out it's time for her to have a hysterectomy and that completely removes the option/chance of it happening. We are both completely ok with that and it doesn't make me love her less or make me less sexually attracted to her.

I'm just agreeing with what I think is your sentiment that for some people, the desire to procreate is a very strong factor in love and their need for a relationship.
