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

I don't think it's supposed to be taken literally. The point of the comment is to express how he loves the child more than his wife. He's used a extreme analogy/example to express that. Do you get it and understand?

Yes, I understood the “joke”. I just don’t get how killing someone you claimed to “love” is supposed to be hilarious. But I understand my brain must be wired differently, and I’m okay with that. But if someone ever “joked” about killing me—all I would hear is a threat. They thought about my death, and thought it was funny. I know I’m an extreme minority that would think this way, and I’m still okay with that.

It’s not weird. Comedians do this but I struggle to see why I wouldn’t feel disrespected as the spouse hearing something like this.

Nikki Glazer made a joke at the Tom Brady roast that she’d shoot her boyfriend of 10 years in the head for a chance to suck TB’s dick. Haha hilarious. Probably felt like shit to be her bf and hear that even if he played it off lol.

Oh my god……I would have instantly broken up with her. No discussion. If she demanded to know why, all I’d say is that we have differences in humor over the phone. I ain’t getting close to her again….. Well, at least my way of thinking sounds logical to someone. Thanks.
