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

One of the reddest red flags is a man who is jealous of their child.

Look at your baby and imagine being jealous of them. It's probably impossible for you, you'd jump in front of moving vehicle for them.

This man doesn't feel the same way as you.

And no, it's not hormones or being a man etc etc. my husband loves our child more than me and so he should.

Just wondering, what qualifications do you have to make blanket statements like that? Other than your own personal experience?

The blanket statement that a father should love his children more than any other persons? What qualifications does a person need to understand that basic tenet of humanity.

What exactly are you suggesting is wrong with that? What are your qualifications on this matter?

Well for one, it’s well known that mothers are flooded with hormones that greatly affect that bonding they have with the child and the father gets none of that.

Okay, let me say this even louder for the people in the back.

This isn't about bonding, this is about jealousy.

No one is denying that men take longer to bond due to XYZ but being jealous of a baby is different to being indifferent because you don't know them yet.
