It all depends on your views about the purpose of dating.

If you believe the sole and entire purpose of dating is to find someone to marry, then, yes, you should break up right now. In fact, you've wasted the last several months or however long it's been since she said that she didn't want to have kids -- if you look at it solely from that perspective. The moment you realize there is a significant block to getting married and living happily ever after, then you should break up immediately.

On the other hand, if you view dating as trying to carve out some space with a loving companion in a cold, cruel, heartless world for as long as possible, then you should stay together until circumstances absolutely force you apart. As long as you believe you are happy together, you should stay together, regardless of what might or might not happen sometime in the unpredictable future.
