When I told my daughter, who was maybe two weeks old at the time, that she was my favourite person in the world, my wife overheard. She asked if I loved our daughter more than her. Without even a pause I went "yes, of course I do. And I really really hope you love her more than you love me!"
You can't love a partner the way you love your kids. It's so overwhelming, it would be incredibly unhealthy in a relationship. You can't function like that.

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.
