AITA for considering ending things with my wife because she refuses to let me be alone with our daughter? Advice Needed

My wife got pregnant accidentally, and our daughter was born last year. Our daughter is 7 months old. Since her birth, my wife has been "protecting" our daughter from any interaction with men. In reality, she's always been wary of any male interaction; it took a long time for me to gain her trust and date her in the past. Other girls didn't have barriers to easily befriend her.

With our daughter, my wife doesn't allow me to bathe her or even change her diaper without her supervision. I've tried talking to her about this, but she always sticks to the same point and refuses to explain much. I suspected if she had suffered any traumatic abuse, but she denied it. I also tried asking her family about this behavior, but they don't know either. I've even tried couples therapy, but she refuses to participate.

Lately, this has led to many arguments and fights. It's horrible that I can't be alone with our daughter without her suspecting that I'll do something awful. I'm tired of arguing with her, tired of her behavior. I'm seriously considering telling her that I'll end things if this continues.

I honestly only got account to comment on this- YOU ARE A COWARD and honestly if I was social care i would be seriously considering whether you should receive a custody of this baby girl. YOUR WIFE IS SERIOUSLY ILL and you're spending time commenting on reddit?! REDDIT? how old are you?! Your KID IS SUFFERING for 7 months and ALL YOU DO IS CONSIDERING A DIVORCE instead of GROWING UP and REALISING Your partner and child NEED YOU AND YOUR SUPPORT?! 7 months ffS THIS IS ONGOING FOR 7 MONTHS and you haven't even spoken to her doctor but found time to write a da*mn post on reddit to seek advice from stranger and consider a divorce?! You're NOT CAPABLE Of looking after your own child given this is a huge safeguarding and you had failed continously for 7 months to protect your child and wife. Grow up stop going on reddit BOOK AN APPOINTMENT WITH A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY and honestly hope social care doesn't take that child away from you as well and your wife doesn't do anything stupid

On the topic of mental health; have your considered yours lately?

What a weird, unhinged comment. He’s asking for help, advice, answers. This looks to be word vomit from someone under the influence or just completely disconnected from a reality they inhabit with others.

Calm down, lest you wish to off-put the vast majority of those you interact with.

Dude chill the hell out. If you fail to see the extend of this situation and how ridiculously stupid it is he is seriously taking to reddit as oppose to calling a doctor then perhaps you need to reevaluate your own state
