I don't think it's difficult; I think it's impossible, but I see others looking for unconditional love in a romantic partner and wanted to know why they thought it was.

Yes, I believe in unconditional love. I also believe that you get burnt when you give it.

photoguy: love has rules.NO.
I happen to agree. I give my children unconditional love, but no one else. I wonder if those looking for unconditional love are confused about the definition of it or have overly romanticized notions of it.

Maybe. I know I love my children unconditionally, and extended myself financially in the divorce to provide them with their childhood home. They just decided recently to move in with their dad, and I am feeling sad and bereft and maybe a bit 'burnt,' but I wouldn't do it again any differently because they are my children, and I love them unconditionally.

So...unconditional love???
I would say think about what that means.
More for the love of a dog for its doting owner.
Or a green light to be taken for a ride.
All relationships are conditional, by the very nature of them.

I agree with giving unconditional love to one's children, but not to a partner, there will always be some conditions, even if it's just personal hygiene, or the way they interact with you etc, There will always be a condition that they and I remain faithful.

I wouldn't change anything either. I always give unconditional love. To me, it means sticking with someone no matter what, understanding, forgiving, etc.
However, once burnt, twice cautious so it usually doesn't work out because one is always on one's guard for the next thing to happen.

Those 'conditions' can be changed. I don't consider those things in unconditional love..Faithfulness and understanding are unconditional to me.

Hello, I've been to NY. My mom was very ill and is in a nursing home now.
Thanks for noticing.

Anything is possible in a relationship when two people really and truly want something to happen.That would involve no criticism,no blaming each other,no judgements no controling from either side.

Yes, the monogamy condition is a basic one, but some continue to love their partner after being betrayed. I maintain that in itself does not portray unconditional love; rather, it indicates that person's conditions have not been breached.

Are you saying you always give unconditional love to a romantic person? Once given, unconditional love is permanent, and doesn't die. If one is on guard for the next thing to happen, the love is not unconditional.
