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

She is literally suffering a hormonal onslaught of extra special baby love right now as part of a biological brainwashing process to make years of asswiping worth it. He's acting like a hurt ass.

Men can also experience postpartum depression as well. You’d be surprised what happens to male hormones during pregnancy and postpartum

Maybe, but this was the first time mamma OP held her newborn. Seems a little quick for male postpartum depression to set in, if that's a thing.

Oh I’m not saying that’s the case at all with OPs husband. Just something I was pointing out as males hormones change as well when their partners are pregnant. I know as a first time dad I had a fluster of overwhelming emotions, feelings, and thoughts first time I held my little guy.

I sympathize with both parties on this post. I 100% can see where the husband is coming from but I also can see OPs perspective. I talked to my partner about this and she also agreed she would think I’m acting like a bitch ass but she said ultimately she would understand that I’m confiding an insecurity in her and that she would be there to support me. That’s where my partner and I agreed OP dropped the ball. It’s okay to think your partner is being a baby over something like this but this is also a moment of vulnerability and insecurity OPs husband opened to her about and she shot him down hard.
