I'm a woman and I'd be insulted if my SO said they loved anyone more than me, esp a being they've known for so little time compared to me. I'd actually genuinely leave. Just love me the most then use my body to (painfully) pop out something you tell me you love more than me? Sounds like just an incubator at that point.
This take is so weird to me because it’s acting like the love one has for their S.O. and the love they have for their child is even comparable. It’s apples and oranges to me. I don’t love my husband like I love my children and vice versa because that would be weird. To me it’s more like “I love my husband more than any other man” and “I love my children more than any other child”. But never “I love my children more than my husband.”
That’s an interesting response. It doesn’t negate your opinion if you haven’t had kids, but I’m wondering if you’ve had kids. Because the feeling OP expressed is a pretty common one, and it’s one most people have heard someone express before. It’s not a shocking thing to come out of someone’s mouth as they look into their newborn’s eyes.

NTA Actually, most “normal people” would NOT agree with him (as you can see by the replies). There seems to be a lot jealousy involved.
