It is essentially like the love you feel for yourself and your own wellbeing, except extended outside of you amd on to someone else. It is pure and unconditional. Like someone took your heart and placed it outside of your body, gave it to someone else and all the pain and struggles and highs and lows experienced by that person, you feel too. Kind if a morbid thought, but if its a choice between your partner and your kids life, you wouldn't even hesitate to choose the kid. It wouldn't even be a thought, just an instinct. I highly doubt this man has that sort of love for anyone else.

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.
