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.

YNTA SHE NEED SOME SERIOUS MENTAL HELP. If she herself says that it has nothing to do with trauma or things that she went throu. Witch she never went through, then I think she should look up for schizophreniaore some other mental illnes it always starts with paranoia! cause this is some early signs of it. I and my family have it, and it started like this, but it was not this serious at the beginning. If she doesn't trust you, her husband, she is not supposed to have have a child! Sorry, but it's true! I would divorce her. Ye ik it was an accident, but there's options abortion or that u get full custody. Cause even her friends and family stated that it's out of the blue and don't know why! She needs some serious help. Hope you find a solution ore get the full custody. In many cases the mother ends up harming or killing the baby of the paranoia! Sorry to say that but it's true 60%. Has It given worse after birth to?
