I want children but my partner now says he is not keen. Should I go it alone?

Couple illustration

My partner has a child from a previous relationship who was two when we met a few years ago. For the first half of our relationship we discussed having future children together. Then one day he told me he no longer wanted more kids and that his child is his sole focus. The future was gone in one second.

We have an amazing relationship, so this is our only issue. His previous relationship has scarred him deeply.
