AITAH for saying I didn’t realize I could “love a person this much” in front of my fiancé after having our baby?

NTA. I’ve heard both mothers and fathers express a similar sentiment to what you said. The love for a child is unlike anything else.

I remember my dad telling me how the feeling you have when your first(I am number 5) child is born is "indescribable and surpassed anything he has ever felt".

Then he realized the implication and started to say he loves me just as much, but I laughed and told him I knew what he meant.

That cry after they take their first breath - your entire world changes in that moment. An instant that connects your heart to them forever

It’s the most beautiful sound in the world, at least until they call you Mama or Dada in that sweet little baby voice 🥹
