ladyfingers: Do you think that people cannot give unconditional love?
I think parents can with their children... and maybe some people. I don´t think I am though... if someone thought they could beat on me, the love would be gone in a blink...
ladyfingers: Do you think that people cannot give unconditional love?
Of course they can...It's just doesn't look like what we think it does....
Thank god I love my dog because she's not obedient..she's bratty...she's unpredictable....she's kinda chunky...she drives me insane with her incessant barking...she won't listen sometimes...her playtime has to be when she wants it...she wakes me up in the middle of the night to go pee depriving of sleep half the time....but at the same time she's goofy and she makes me laugh everyday....and I don't think you could find a better pair who are sooo much alike...but love each other regardless because that's what dogs and animal lovers do...BUT at the same time...there is probably nobody else who wants to put up with us...

Of course you can and that is what I practice! That is why none of the women here on CS....or anywhere for that matter, disappoint me! To love someone without any expectation's is the strongest form of love you can give! imo

Loving without expectation and unconditional love are two very different things....
Unconditional love suggests you would put up with anything.
I mean, would you still love someone if they had cheated?
Would it not be a condition that they should not?
Cheating... I could probably get over as a one off... deliberate cruelty or lying are 2 things I couldn´t forgive and would make me stop loving a person.

Loving someone...doesn't mean it's ok for them to hurt you...you can still love someone and not like what they did...choose not to be with them because they overstepped their bounds....but it doesn't mean you love them any less...you just refuse to let someone you love treat you in an unloving wayyyyyyy....
Get a dictionary! To love without expectation is completely different than to love unconditionally. To love unconditionally is to love in spite of any actions that person could do. I would still love my child if they killed someone... I wouldn´t continue to love any one else if they killed my child...

Thats right jb, we all have our boundaries.
Unconditional love in my opinion is for people in dreamland.

You are loving with condition's! 'I will love my child if....but not your's if the same thing happens'

That is why I said in my initial post that I do believe that people are capable of unconditional love when it comes to their children... but not so much with anyone else.

Totally agree JB, for me it is only solid between family, as it should be. Outside of that, achieving it with a stranger is extreemly rare. Our expectations and desires are so so high these days, and tolerance levels so low.
But most of us are programmed to continue the quest, finding that elusive Holy Grail of unconditional love.
Good luck to all at CS ( Constantly Seeking ) Cheers
