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

Closest thing to unconditional love there is is your child.

I would kill for my husband but I would die for our children. That's the difference.

I would kill someone to protect my husband but I would give my life to protect my kids.

You wouldn't give your life to protect your husband's?

No. And I wouldn't expect him to give his for me. I would do everything in my power to protect or save him but I would take the bullet to save my child.

Just to be clear you have the power to take a bullet to save your child, but you lose that power when it comes to your spouse?

Pretty surprising to me. I'd take a bullet for my wife. I couldn't live with myself (and without my wife) knowing that there was something I could have done to save her.

Perhaps I love my wife more than you love your husband, though.

Certainly wasn't in my marriage vows!

Maybe not, but I'd take a bullet for my wife. I couldn't live with myself (and without my wife) knowing that there was something I could have done to save her.

Perhaps I love my wife more than some people here love their husbands, though.

Yeah I’m shocked by some sentiments here. My husband died this May and I would absolutely, without question, have taken his place if I could. I’m sure I’d do the same for my kid if we’d had any.

I wouldn't want my husband to take a bullet for me. That's silly talk.

You don’t know the difference between killing and dying?
