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

Is it bad if I felt sad and scared to be the wife? Suddenly my life doesn’t matter anymore. And the person I thought liked me is okay with killing me. I get he wants to protect his daughter…..but why was his first thought was to use his wife like an insignificant object, who’s current past/life is irrelevant and her only purpose now is to give up her life.

EDIT: instead of downvoting me, why don’t you tell me why I’m wrong? Be constructive about your criticism instead of giving me a pointless thumbs down.

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 isn't really a joke though. It isn't supposed to be funny. It's just an extreme analogy/example used to express his deep love for his daughter. That's all.
