<human>: So, me and my SO have been in a long term relationship for about 2 years now. We're both college students and STEM majors, him being Computer Science and I being a Physics major. We both are taking the relationship very well, we've had our ups and downs and we're both really happy with the relationship right now but the one topic that we always have opposing sides on is children. 

He grew up in a large family having 2 other siblings and him being the oldest. He's always been very close to his family and wants to have one and have children in the future. Family was always important to him and he feels that he won't be happy without it. 

However, I grew up in a very twisted environment with my parents divorcing, my brother moving out when I was young so I mostly grew up solitary without much of a family bond. I love my freedom and independence and I can't picture myself settling down with a family because it's so foreign to me, I've always been more of an animal person anyway. 

We've both discussed this topic multiple times and our views haven't changed from the time we've both started dating. We love each other very much and love to spend time with each other but I'm beginning to have doubts come in my mind for the future. I tell myself that I shouldn't worry about whats going to happen 5 years from now but it creeps in the back of my mind.  

I'm already deeply committed and so is he and we're very happy right now but I'm worried one day it'll come a time for the deal breaker and it'll be hard for both of us to separate because of this one issue. I guess I'm afraid, should I just give up the relationship even though we're happy right now? Is it worth it if I know we both aren't going to change? I'm unsure what I should do about this. 

It just makes it even harder knowing that we are both happy right now because I don't want our relationship to change.

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: SO wants kids in the future, I don't. Both in college, very committed to each other. Is it worth it to continue the relationship knowing the conflicting values even though we're both happy right now?
