Some people can only learn from first hand experience and this is why incompatible people marry and and raise children.

I dodged the bullet 2 times from partners, that I had feelings at the time (I was lonely and out of a relationship for very long periods before), who didn't want children with me (they would consider abortion in case I left them pregnant, instead of having a family with me, when I discussed the possibility).

Love is real and instinctual. No matter how many possible couples you have observed (I appreciate gossip sometimes) to know the possibilities of what to expect, you still have to fight your own urges and dreams.
