I (22M) became a dad two months ago. My girlfriend (21F) and I didn’t plan it, but she wanted to keep the baby, so I stuck around. I moved in, picked up more hours at work, and I’ve been helping out as much as I can.

The thing Is I don’t feel anything. I take care of her I change diapers, feed her, stay up with her if needed but there’s no emotional connection. People say you just “fall in love” with your kid. That hasn’t happened for me.

My girlfriend is obsessed with her. She looks at her like she’s the best thing in the world. I want to feel that, but I don’t. And I don’t know what’s wrong with me.

She asked how I was feeling the other night, and I told her the truth that I don’t feel connected. She got really upset, started crying, said I was cold and maybe I’ll never love my own kid.

Now things are weird between us. She barely talks to me, and I feel like the bad guy. But I wasn’t trying to be mean. I just thought honesty would help.

AITA?
