Do you love your children more than you love your spouse?

In my case, and I have to say sorry to my husband, but yes, I do love my son more than I love him. And I'm very sure of this. I know it's not fair but that's how I feel. And I have to be totally honest with myself. I can say this because I am aware that I give more attention and care to my son than I do for my husband. And he sometimes feel that I'm neglecting him. I give more of my time and love to our son than I should be giving him. I think I feel this way because my husband and I had issues before. Before we had our son, I was giving him total devotion and attention. I take care of all his needs and make sure that he doesn't feel neglected at all. But there was a certain time in our relationship, that I felt suddenly tired of doing things for him. Why? Because I felt unappreciated. It's like his taking me for granted. I don't expect him to do the same things for me. Only that he appreciates the things I do for him. I'm not asking for a "thank you" for every single thing that I do. Actions speak louder than words. But even his actions tell me that I'm not appreciated. I think that's when the time that I unconciously given more than half of my heart to our son. That's why I love my son now more than I love my husband. I still do the things I've done before for my husband, but I guess, in some way, I am putting on the brakes now when it comes to my affection for him. So that I won't be hurt as much with what he is doing. But, I know that this isn't fair for him. So, I'm trying my best to balance my love for the both of them.
