What is unconditional love? (41)
Ccincy: Does it mean "No Matter What"? Does it really exist? Where does one draw the line.
To me unconditional love means it's when I do things for someone without expections in return.

It's a lovely thing, unconditional love - but if it's one-sided, it usually is a recipe for disaster...
I'm talking about romantic relationships here, not about someone's love for their kids or pets.

Interesting thread. I wonder if anyone really is able to give unconditional love. There comes a time when a situation becomes intolerable. Battered women start out by loving their partner "unconditionally", don't they? I mean, at least part of the time. People fall "out" of love all the time, so 'unconditional love' flies out the window on that one. Christians talk of God's unconditional love (which, by the way, I DO believe in) and go on to say, "but you have to ...." Now wait a minute: If God's love is unconditional, then there are no "buts" about it, are there? If there are, then it isn't really unconditional, is it?To me unconditional love means it's when I do things for someone without expections in return.

hello ccincy, 
yes, no expectations in return and also the acceptance of their personality in toto...
for me, the line of this love is drawn where my dignity is trampled...

It's really called disinterested love or agape and it's extremely rare.

Many people confuse unconditional love with neediness and clinginess.. To know if one can love unconditionally, he should first examine whether he loves himself unconditionally, not narcissistically but in the sense of feeling at peace with and accepting all his physical, emotional and psychological traits.

I think its something that we can strive for ..... our success rate though, may be shaky, but I think its like anything, we can get better the more we practice and learn new skills.------ This thread is Archived ------

Yet to see one..bt yes the love what most of the parents have for their kids can definitely be defined as unconditional

I suppose--both amoebas have to be on the same slide, though! Sure, it's possible to find a person who fits like a glove in every way, although I do think it is rare. How's weather up there? I talked to a lady in New Hampshire today. she said it is just blizzard city all over the place up North. thanx for the reply, btw--

Well I am sure if it exists with anyone else, but for me and my 2 es husbands, they thought I should love them no matter what hell they put me through. Anything I did for them would not come with a return even if I was expecting one. It was all one sided. For the most part, any other relationship I have had went the same way. So I question whether or not unconditional love exists. If it does or not, you still have to draw the line.

its when a person still loves you even after he/she sees you first thing in the morning. 
they love you faults and all.They show you everyday in their actions,not just in words.

absolutely, that's what love is all about in theory, unfortunately very few and far in between cases had been reported with this ultimate perfection of spiritual/sensual offering, let alone in todays distractive lifestyle and deterrents. now as a general rule this kind of emotional turmoil has to have the basic make up for it to work, in short,
NO IFs, BUTs or WHYs and surely in a reciprocative manner, that maybe with a very highly enriched dose of ASTRATE* vitamin, things will take off happily.
and since u like fine arts

Hi--I'm going to have to take a break--just found out that a favorite and very much loved and admired friend died this morning. She was as close to being someone who loved unconditionally as one can get, I think. What a loss this is--sorry to take off on this note. You're all great folks, and I enjoy talking on CS with you--see you in a day or two. ro

Unconditional love is unhealthy. It is simple, look at the words and it tell you exactly what it means. I see people here twisting it into something they want it to mean. Unconditional = without condition, love = love, therefore Unconditional love = love without condition. Hell, even the loyalty of a dog will go away if you ht it enough times. People say they love their kids and spouses unconditionally, but it really is a fluff word and truly loving someone without condition is probably impossible. How many times has a baby been born or people been married that said they had unconditional love and ended up years later in divorce or the parent and child never speaking to them again. That is because their love had conditions, and those conditions had been crossed.
The term is also used in religion. I find that even funnier. God loves you unconditionally, yet he will send you to hell and punish you eternally if you don't follow his conditions

I think only a mother's love is unconditional. All other love comes with expectations (strings attached). I thought one time that I had unconditional love from an ex girlfriend until it became a jealous obsession for her. My dream girl turned into my living nightmare.To me unconditional love means it's when I do things for someone without expections in return.

I think years and years ago,it meant no matter what,you stayed together,despite lack of affection,or bullying ect.
I personally dont think unconditional love exists freely.If a partner is an adulterer,then i would not expect anyone to love them unconditionally.
