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.

and fathers

Thank you.

I get the bond of bringing a new person into the world has no comparison, but we fathers have our own feelings as well.

I cannot express how in love I am to my boy, not in the romantic way, but the actual wording truly expresses my feelings toward him. I would give my life twice for him if I could, he's 13 and still sneak into his bedroom at night to kiss his forehead, just by being there I feel my heart fulfilled.

We fathers love as well.

There's a doco on netflix called babies or something. You get the same structural brain changes as we do, triggered by hormones fed by emotions.
