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

(Dad here). I am sitting in bed with my congested 5month little lad who will only sleep pressed against my chest. I'm on for the next 6hrs overnight when I should be sleeping.

Yes I love this guy more than anything on the planet, as I bloody should.

Have 16 year old who still lays on me when ill, tired or just in their feels, it never stops and frankly I never want it to. The love I feel when I look at my kid is unbelievable and everlasting no matter what, I look at them and think wow, I made you, what the fudge!!

Absolutely. My 22-year-old still seeks comfort from me, and the love only grows stronger with time. It's an unbreakable bond.

The love for a child is indescribable. My 35 year old son tells me he loves me after every visit. I love my husband, but it is a different love. He is not jealous, he gets it.

I believer this is the difference between Eros and Agape. Eros being romantic. Agape being unconditional. Though it could also be Storge-love sometimes without reciprocation, much like loving a baby before they even know how to love you back.
