AITAH for not going back to my wife after she threatened to call the cops on me??
Once a picture of perfect harmony, their life shattered the moment their child was born. The wife, once loving and kind, transformed into a stranger whose silent hatred cut deeper than any words could.
The man, overwhelmed by the sudden storm of anger and threats, found himself drowning in despair, caught between the desire to hold his child and the fear of losing everything. In the wreckage of their broken home, hope feels fragile and distant.
The wife’s threats and the mother-in-law’s pleas only deepen the chasm, leaving the man isolated and broken, grappling with the unbearable pain of a love turned hostile and a family torn apart.

The original poster (OP) is experiencing severe emotional distress, feeling that his life has collapsed due to a major conflict with his wife immediately following the birth of their child.
The central conflict revolves around the OP's perception of his wife's sudden hostility and her threat to involve law enforcement, which the OP sees as an unforgivable breach of trust, leading him to refuse reconciliation efforts initiated by his wife and mother-in-law.
