Is unconditional romantic love real or a line people use to get away with their behaviors?

Question

There is no such thing as unconditional love in a romantic relationship. My first ex boyfriend scammed me with nearly $1,300 (I'm never getting back my money) and drained my years with false promises. Obviously I'm not going to love such person. My love immediately turned to disgusted and hatred and he's been blocked ever since. I don't ever want to see nor hear from him again and couldn't care less if he got into an accident.

Perhaps there might be unconditional trust in a romantic relationship where you trust they don't cheat nor fail you but not unconditional love. A relationship has conditions such as being loyal. The only thing closest to unconditional love I can think of is a parent towards his/her child. Even so, just the fact of them being your biological children that in itself is already a condition too.

Love is like food, the relationship ends if you don’t feed it properly but everyone chooses to eat cause not eating hurts more than bad food.

i don't think romantic love is unconditional. there are conditions to it most people will require otherwise they end the relationship (honesty, faithfulness, and other things that bind us).

unconditional love means no matter what happens you love them. so perhaps if you are cheated on you can still have love for that person (i can say that from experience) but i won't remain in the relationship with them.

Well I actually think that you already know the answer to that that's the reason why you're asking it because anybody that ever used a line like that you would already know exactly who they are what they want because you have already felt that and that's why you're with them but if a guy has to say it over and over and can't prove it any other way then of course you know it's a line of s***

Yes it’s real but more often times than it’s coming out of the wrong mouths. Someone who loves you unconditionally isn’t going to put you through loads of disrespect. I believe you can’t give someone something emotionally that you don’t give to yourself. everything you put out is a projection of yourself. When I didn’t care about my own well being and didn’t respect myself I sure as hell didn’t give a shit about others. If you don’t love yourself unconditionally your not going to be able to give it to others.

Yes  it is real! We all have the ability to control our own mind; therefore unconditional love is possible. However, only like 0.1% of the population control their own minds. Most people leave it wind open and react to the outside. If you react to the outside there is no way you could love someone unconditionally; because the outside is nothing but conditions.

Unconditional love is a fallacy. In order for a man or woman to end up in a relationship they have to meet certain requirements based on what the other person is looking for. I’m sure you wouldn’t be w someone long term if they’re ere a crack addict, alcoholic, abusive, etc, etc. I believe that only pertains to children, everyone else has their standards as to who they will or will not date.

Kaneki05 · Answer

No such thing. You can get close and love is very close but conditions still exist in some form. Otherwise you would be A-okay with them cheating on you as there would be no condition saying that's not allowed. And then would be okay with them abusing you. And etc.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

Unconditional love isn't real.

There will always at least be the condition that they love you back.

Relationships are themselves conditions, the idea that if someone treats you with love that you want to give it back.

People say they will unconditionally love a person, but if that person became psychotic and attacked you, you aren't going to love them anymore, you're going to hate them.

There is always a line somewhere, that line just varies from person to person and situation.

It became a line sadly, these days those "unconditional promises" are just Lines, just a"formal" of assurance, nothing sentimental anymore.

A line people use.

Most people that use the term "unconditional love" typically do not realize or simply do not care to accept that they are not worthy of real love. You have to give to get. That's just reality.
