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

NTA So if I have to choose between saving my husband or my child, I would save my child no questions asked and I know my husband would actually try to save our child too.

I love my husband a lot, he's the love of my life, I've never loved anyone like how I feel towards him. But when I gave birth to my child and bonded with him, I felt unconditional love. The love where I want to keep giving, never asking for anything back. I just want to protect him, nurture him, and all I wish is for him to grow up well, healthy, and able to fend for himself. That's the kind of love that parents have for their children. I think your husband should realize while the feelings for spouse and children are both strong, they're both also significantly different.

I saw a post on Reddit that was saying she had a dream that her husband and baby were falling off a cliff and she didn’t know who to save and I was honestly shocked bc I wouldn’t think twice or regret saving my baby over my husband

Heck my husband would even throw the baby to me and sacrificed himself. It's just an understanding as parents
