Do you believe in unconditional love?

Question

I believe certain aspects can give you “unconditional love” like a pet will, but i don’t love anyone unconditionally. I think love comes with its conditions at all times no matter who/what it is.

It’s so weird I asked this question earlier and the responses seemed to support unconditional love yet the way you formulated it here and with the group who respond (different from mine), they responded more logically minded. They actually say they don’t believe in such things while you word it as ‘belief,’ yet when I worded it in a way saying unconditional love isn’t legitimate then they said they do believe in it being real and observable/encounter-able or so.

I just thought that was so strange. Aside from my observation, I acknowledge it, but I don’t believe in it. It’s a bit romantic/paradisial, but not practical nor realistic.

Adults come into relationships with their own histories, personalities, and baggage. They have needs, expectations, and boundaries that must be respected. In this context, expecting love to be unconditional can be unrealistic and even harmful.

Each area of expertise has a certain way of describing unconditional love, but most will agree that it is that type of love which has no bounds and is unchanging. Parental love is said to be the best example of unconditional love.

yes for women, children and pets

men are only loved on the basis of providing something for someone else whether it be finances, physical labor, good genes or just a disposable body for elected politicians to send overseas to go die in a useless proxy war

Jumping right into the deep end, aren't we? Unconditional love sounds like the ultimate romance novel plot, doesn't it? But here's the scoop: while pets might have the art of unconditional love down pat (paw?), when it comes to human relationships, conditions kind of come with the territory. Think of it as a garden. Your love might be the soil—rich, nurturing, ready to support all kinds of growth—but without sunlight and water (aka mutual respect, trust, common values), nothing's going to thrive. Unconditional love between humans is more about accepting flaws and growing together, rather than a love without boundaries or expectations. So, in a way, you're spot on. Love, in its purest form, might be unconditional, but relationships? Well, they're a bit more complicated. Keep loving, keep questioning, and who knows? You might just find a love that feels as close to unconditional as it gets. 😉

Love should never be unconditional in relationships. You don’t go into a relationship unconditional, you shouldn’t expect your partner to have endless love for you if you aren't doing things you once did for that person

MrOracle · Answer

You can *approach* unconditional love, but to truly have unconditional love would only leave you wide open to having that love exploited in negative, even dangerous ways. There has to be SOME boundaries, limits, and expectations, or you will almost certainly be manipulated.

"Unconditional" would mean I'm supposed to still love my girlfriend even if she's killing people, or broadcasting herself doing gangbangs on OF, or whatever other thing? Obviously that's not going to fly. Nor would I expect her love to be completely free of conditions for me. Being in a relationship comes with duties and responsibilities, and you're going to have to make certain sacrifices and accept certain boundaries and expectations - that applies to both people. If you (whoever is reading) don't realize that, you aren't mature enough to be in a relationship.

Even a dog, who thinks you are the center of the universe, will eventually lose their "love" for you if you keep kicking it.

sage2021 · Answer

I'm not sure I believe in love at all anymore - unconditional or otherwise.

I really had my eye opened today by a good friend, and after our conversation, I really don't think I have ever really been loved, at least not like I deserved to be.

Trust went out the window too today.
Sometimes the people that are close to you and are your real friend will tell you the truth about things in one's life even though it may sting a little bit or a lot in my case.
True friends that care about you don't sugarcoat the truth from you. That's the best way to be.

lornakrys · Answer

Yes, for my child. At the moment, I can say I honestly can't imagine that anything could make me stop loving my baby. I could be mad, disappointed, completely pissed off and I will still love him because he is mine. Now for romantic love, no I do not. Not completely. I believe romantic love is a choice. Yes the feelings are there but you choose to make it last, to dedicate yourself to it and to this other person every day. You decide they are important to you and you make decisions that will not hurt them and they should do the same in return. Unconditional romantic love is idiotic. If someone treats you like trash and contributes nothing but misery to your life and you're still in "unconditional love" with them, you are an idiot.

imtiaz45 · Answer

Unconditional love is a powerful concept, often defined as love without conditions or limitations. It implies a deep, unwavering affection that persists regardless of circumstances. Many believe in unconditional love, especially in contexts such as parent-child relationships, where the bond is often seen as inherently selfless and enduring. This type of love is also valued in romantic relationships, friendships, and even spiritual beliefs. While achieving unconditional love can be challenging due to human imperfections and changing dynamics, many strive for it, finding it a source of profound connection and fulfillment. Ultimately, belief in unconditional love depends on personal experiences and perspectives.

Agape93 · Answer

Nope. If love doesn't have conditions, you need to reevaluate yourself.
A condition can be as simple as "Hey, love me and only me, and ill do the same" to get extreme of "Hey ill love you so long as you keep your dick out of our kid."

Crazzyyworld · Answer

Well my parents love is conditional I think. I have a certain expectation toward my date too. I see many people have expectations to me too. If I don’t meet their condition, there is no friends. My sister and brother don’t talk to me if I am poor and have no job either. God loves me unconditionally the bible says. But I don’t know.. it is conditional also? He has also expectations.

TommyMountainFigure · Answer

There are those that live in a fantasy who believe love should be unconditional. But then, that would mean they are willing to accept the most inhumane of treatment, and I don't think anyone should have to suffer such indignities!

To answer your question.. Nope I don't. Love should be equal to respect, and in an ideal world works both ways!

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

I do, my parents loved me unconditionally. The only issue was even though they were very strict, it still set me up with unrealistic expectations for my other relationships but at least because of that, my patience and ability to think clearly under stress and salvage relationships that take abuse or suffer through misunderstandings are second to exceedingly few people.

sawno · Answer

I don't believe in that, show me a partner who will still love me if out of the blue i'd go on a mass murder spree completely out of character and then ill believe it. There is always a condition, and the condition is that that person remains the person you fell in love with. Within that a lot can happen and it can feel unconditional, but if they do something purely evil they would normally never do it would be over for me.

StudyingAuthor · Answer

HA! No! I don't even love family unconditionally. If people piss me off, they're bound to have a nice journey trying to get back on my nice side.

just_a_potato · Answer

I do believe in unconditional love, but I only believe it can exist from a parent to their child. A parent who actually loves their child anyway. There is no other love that can be unconditional, truly.

PeachyPie93 · Answer

Yes I do. Is it common, no not really, most people are pieces of shit and super selfish so no need to feel that way about anyone but your children.

Juxtapose · Answer

I can disprove unconditional love immediately.  Can you love somebody if they torture you horrifically for 10 years?  No? Well that's a condition right there.

IslaTheWitch · Answer

I do... if we have to deserve it... then it's not love...

RainbowMarinade · Answer

Yes. I love my children unconditionally.  It doesn’t matter what they do in this life, I will always love them.  I don’t think I any control over that.

True love seeks the happiness of others; it comes with no conditions.

genericname85 · Answer

i think you should love your own child unconditionally. but nobody else.

nawtee_me · Answer

A parent has unconditional love for their children. If they can do it for children then they can do it for others as well. It is a choice after all. If you love someone and they do something that you don’t like or that hurts your feelings you can still choose to love them anyway… or not because it is a choice….

TracyF · Answer

Of course I do. True love is unconditional, and true love is a choice. Love is an action, not an emotion. We choose to love unconditionally.
