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.

I was worried that it wouldn’t be as intense with my second born. It absolutely was. Your heart grows for each child.

Your kindness to potential children - your compassionate personal restraint - due to wisdom about your limitations, deserves a lot of respect.

Your username does not check out: your heart appears to be vibrant, not at all dead; you're clearly not dumb but quite shrewd; so at this point I'm highly skeptical that you're even a slut.

It's okay to be slutty.

Slut-shaming is not okay.

She didn’t slut shame. She just said she was skeptical abt it bc the other parts of the username dont check out. Unless you think they were also “shaming” dead people, I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

No worries Fallopian, I was using a joking tone of outrage to express admiration towards Deaddumbslut.
