“Aren’t there many unhappy couples, if cross species reproduction isn’t very common?”
This question was posed tonight in my #ttrpg session. While I’m open to the concept in my homebrew, looking at for example base #dnd where we got Half-Orcs, Half-Elves and Half…-lings(?), I found the question very interesting and wanted to ask the wider community.
How do you fine folk handle to topic?

The question makes one really huge assumption: that “couples” mostly want to reproduce and breed.
That’s not really the case. In the real world, there’s a lot of cultural pressures that push people to reproduce, but a lot of them end up being systems of oppression: someone who is pregnant or raising children suddenly has a lot less upward social mobility, and less time to do things like organize and protest

Great point for sure! So how do you handle it in your campaigns?
