I come from a normal Yoruba family where mothers love their children more than their husband. Thats what I have also seen growing up. My mother always told us she loves us more that our dad. We are her priority and the people she loves the most. What I mean is that based on my childhood it’s normal to love more your children than your husband.

So when I married my husband, I’m going to love my children a lot and they will always come first, just like my mother raised me. He said he was ok with it and he agreed on me with that. That the children are the first priority. When I saw my son for the first time, I completely understood what my mother meant and how that type of love was incomparable. He was the handsome little baby I’ve ever seen and I cried tears of joy when I had him.  I always wanted to be a mother and knowing I had such a perfect healthy baby was a dream come true.

Now my baby is 8 months old and my husband clearly sees that he is my no 1 priority. This weekend my husband began to talk a lot and suddenly asked me who I loved more, him or our baby boy. I told him he already knew the answer. He was really angry and told me he can’t be with someone who didn’t love him the most and how could I love more someone I only know for 8 months (lol) than him who I’ve known for 4 years. Then he said “I still love you more than him, so you should love me more than you love him too”. I told him it wasn’t like that and then I also said he just wanted to argue with me because he asked me something he already knew the answer of just to shout at me. Was I wrong?
