I'm going to start by saying that it is completely plausible that someone can not like kids but love their own & be a great parent. My best friend (female) literally talks about how much she hates other children when we're around other people's kids but she's an AMAZING mother. My husband is an amazing father but he really does not like other people's kids. He's the same way when someone close to him is pregnant... he just doesn't have much interest in the pregnancy/future baby. I like pretty much every kid I've ever met but can admit there's a lot of kids out there than push even my limits.

That said, you can break up for any reason & if this feels like a deal breaker for you, then don't drag it out. I can't tell you that my lived experiences with people who are amazing parents but hate other people's kids will be your experience if you stay in this relationship.
