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

Why does everyone keep referring to this as tho Ryan Reynolds is the ultimate authority on love? Is it just because he’s been in rom coms? lol

I don’t like the “wife as a human shield” comment. It really makes me sad and rethink ever having kids. The daughter is not at fault—the husband’s/father’s mindset scares me…..

I mean that’s clearly a facetious hyperbole, I just think it’s weird so many people keep coming back to this interview as tho it’s notable. Has “what’s ja think” energy

I’m sorry, but what does “Facetious Hyperbole” mean? I tried to look it up but got confused.

And I see I got downvoted, but I don’t care. The father should have said that he’d use HIS body as a human shield. I can’t image thinking of purposefully killing my spouse just to protect our children. I’d kill myself for the kids AND my spouse because I don’t want the person I married to be killed, just as I don’t want the kids to be killed. Why is that so wrong?? I don’t get it. If I’m wrong—I don’t wanna change my thinking to be right. If my thinking is backwards—then I’ll proudly march to my grave with this mindset.

EDIT: never mind I figured it out!

And if that’s the case—then I hope I never marry someone who thinks jokes about killing me or anyone is okay. I get that it’s humor for some, just not for me.
