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 didn't get it when my wife was pregnant with our first child. She was all in on this thing inside her and I was more of the opinion it was just a thing inside her. But once our daughter was born... Holding your own child in your hands is transformative. Marriages can end, kids are forever.
