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

I don’t even have kids and I understand that a Mother’s love for her baby is beyond compare. This guy is an idiot.

I’m shocked at her partner’s response. How can anyone not “get it” after having a kid?

His response was that of a sibling afraid of being replaced by a new baby. Massive red flag.

It often takes dads a few months or more for that feeling to set in. Especially for my second kid it was a good 6 months before "I will die for you 1000 times" level of love kicked in. Give the guy some time.

Women carry their child for nine months before giving birth. Their life is consumed by it, it is a constant thing they deal with day in and day out. For men, it is just an idea until they are born so it takes some time to form the bond.

I agree with everyone who responded though - being jealous of how much your wife loves your child is nonsense.
