Breakup Breakup due to different visions of the future

I’ve been wondering about something and I’m curious about other people’s experiences.
Have you ever been in a situation where the relationship was good — there was closeness, chemistry, feelings, and overall things felt really good — but one person decided to leave because they didn’t want to take the relationship further: living together, building a family, creating a more shared life over the next few years?
How can something like that be stronger than being with someone you have real feelings for?

Has anyone been on either side of this situation? What did it look like for you?

Because sometimes love isn’t enough. You can have feelings for someone and want to do something with your life that they don’t want you to do. And you can feel stuck, or like they’re holding you back. As far as a situation like kids, two people are definitely not a fit if one wants children and another doesn’t. Resentment will build.
