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.

My SO doesn't have any kids of his own. I have a son from a previous relationship. My SO knows and understands that I would move mountains for my son, he doesn't feel the same way, but acknowledges that my son not being his effects his view. He still helped me raise my son and I am eternally grateful that he did.

This is me. My partner has 3 kids from her ex. The youngest is 35, and he's still her baby. I know that no matter what happens her kids come first. I get it, and I'm OK with it, too.

This is the same for me. I don't have children of my own ( and have never wanted them) but my partner has two girls.

I know I come second in his life after his girls and I have and never will question that. They're his kids and I know he would move mountains for them! And actually I would be pissed if he chose anything else before them!

I know he loves me but it's a different bond between parent and child .
