When the issue is 'kids' vs. 'no kids' maybe, but you think a woman
would break up a marriage because her husband doesn't want a third?
That seems insane to me.
In my opinion, if a couple already has two healthy children and
disagree about having a third, the partner not wanting another child
clearly has the upper hand.

Of course, because it's not ethical to force the other
parent into parenting another child.

Why, exactly, is it more ethical (or even not unethical at all) to force another
into parenting a child than to force another not to have a child?

I just don't see this clear-cut assymetry others seem to. (I'm not talking
practicalities, I'm talking ethics.)
