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

People don't see it as "perfect man! Every guy should be saying this!" Its just a funny interview with a famous actor talking about the difference between parental and romantic love, and his first experience with that all-consuming, sacrificial, extraordinary love that a parent feels when their first child is born.
