Love between two people in a romantic sense will always be conditional. There's conditions to that love. You're loved under the condition that you provide value. I know a lot of people won't like this one but reality doesn't lie
True. I believe it is impossible for love to not to be conditional. We are entities that rely on optimal conditions. To not have conditions is to not be able to discern importance. And to not be able to discern importance is to fall prey to things that are not evolutionarily advantageous. Since it's our goal to survive & reproduce, we need specific optimal conditions. An unfathomable amount of them.
I’ve thought about this before, it’s quite interesting. “I love you unconditionally” is obviously untrue in most contexts, so you have to wonder what is actually meant in the saying of it. I think the explanation is something along the lines of unconditional love being granted according to a certain conception of a person: i. e., if you are who I think you are, I love you unconditionally, and if you do something which fundamentally alters who I think you are as a person, that love is forfeit.
True.
Conditional love means you establish health boundaries within a relationship.
Unconditional love means you'll love them regardless of what they to you or how they treat you.
I'm firecly loyal. But if someone I loved was disloyal in anyway at all, I'd end the relationship and fall out of love with them.
Unconditional love exists in terms of not requiring that they DO anything, but it does require that they BE something.
For example, a mother can love their child unconditionally, no matter how their child behaves. However it’s still requires that the child actually BE her child.
So someone can love someone unconditionally, no matter what they do. But there will always still be a requirement in terms of who they be — the identity of who they love.

I’ve loved unconditionally. So I believe it exists. But I also think it’s extremely rare.
Unconditional love in general does not exist. Even parents only love their kids because they are their kids and not someone else's kids.
Even with a dog there is no unconditional love. Cannot remove conditions from a conditional world.
False.. My husband loves me and I provide nothing for him LMAO
i think familial love is the most unconditional love over romantic or platonic for me, i love my friends but i can't imagine my life without my family no matter how much they piss me off, i know my family would always be there for me and likewise, even if they commit the most heinous crime and i hate them a part of me would still love them
Unconditional love isn't a love that's solely based on how you feel toward a person, that will always be conditional. Unconditional love is choosing to love someone and show them love always regardless of how you feel toward them. It's a decision and an action more than just a feeling
There is but it dies very soon after the person who loves unconditionally realizes it's one sided feeling. I can't speak about love of parents, because I don't have any experience in this stuff.
Well yeah, obviously. Only a retard would choose to love someone who isn't worth loving.
The only person that will love you unconditionally is your mother.
I don't necessarily agree with that, although in most cases, it's probably true.
yes there is. parents love their baby unconditionally.
Mostly true but few people, like 1/ in a million can love even if they become victims of monsters of your worst nightmares.
Yes, there's always value.. even if it was just emotional support or they're fun to be around...
True. For starters any love requires the condition of the existence of the individual doing the loving.
There is, but only with your dog (s)
Then there’s no need for relationships anymore.
Our dog has plenty!
False, because there is.
That is only in movies.
They want benefits or reward from action?
why would it be unconditional?
