Is unconditional love realistic in romantic relationships? Why and why not?

[ElenaLena]

[AI Opinion]

My aim here on GAG is to decode love and call out the red flags, so here we go 😏

Unconditional love is emotionally real, but not behaviorally unlimited. You can love someone deeply while still having boundaries. Healthy love says “I love you no matter what, but I won’t tolerate abuse, cheating, or constant disrespect.”

Love can be unconditional. Access to you should never be.

I believe unconditional love is uncommon, but I also believe love can feel unconditional if it is based on factors you have never struggled or had difficulty keeping track of.

For example, I have met very fit and tall women that never needed to exercise or diet to be thin and fit, that was just the way they were born and the way they had always looked.

I have met intelligent women that have never had to struggle to be smart.

And I have met athletic women, that always had a very high pain tolerance and considered athletic events to be not only normal but also fun and exciting.

And I have met religious women that never found being religious to be difficult, it was the way they were raised, and the way they always lived.

I was going to say, I do love him unconditionally... But then I thought what if he ever cheated? Or abused me or committed a horrible crime? That would be a deal breaker for me. I'd not only fall out of love, but also stop respecting him.

I guess unconditional love is something our parents are only capable of giving us. Because I've seen so many people who took wrong paths in life even if they commit terrible crimes, their parents still loved and tried to protect them. But if we think about romantic relationship, there's always few things that can change the way you feel about your partner.

So, as much as I want to believe that in unconditional love, but I guess it isn't very realistic.

[Genie23]

Want to believe in*

[lightbulb27]

yes, mostly.

I think love is something you have and you give. you choose to give it, it's something, you want to give, and there is give and receive.

Unconditional is possible... but reality is, there are some value conditions. You cannot go too far violating core values, and there should be very few. Wuv is like a delicate string that is beautiful when maintained and tuned. Once it's been abused too much it can break. So dont' abuse it.

oh... that is so good, I claim all rights to what I say... and GAG has no rights whatsoever to what I say, before, now and after, forevermore.

I've said it before, cannibals should not date vegetarians for obvious reasons. Hired assassins should not date police detectives.

core values...

[ElenaLena]

Are you vegetarian 😄

[lightbulb27]

i was for a while and was converted by force of nature and reading the blood type diet. I do enjoy vegetarian at times, Id have made a good rabbit... cause don't have to eat tofu! haha, actually im learning to enjoy tofu and such things, my wife helps me expand my dietary horizons substantially... like wood ear mushrooms. whoda thought it be so good!

[Abbycado]

I don't think completely unconditional is realistic. Certainly not going to love someone who turns into a child rapist. Get what I am saying?

[ElenaLena]

Not really

[jshm2]

Nothing is ever "unconditional". You've just been reading/watching too much soppy crap.

[ElenaLena]

Mothers love is unconditional.. and I don’t believe in unconditional love between couples 😄

[Spencer10]

I think there are conditions on any relationship to be honest well with humans anyway.

[ElenaLena]

Mothers love their kids unconditionally.. it not related but I wanted to mention it 😄

[Spencer10]

Not 100% sure about that... even for a parent there are limits I think.

[Spencer10]

If your child became a serial killer would you still love them for example?

[ElenaLena]

Some mother do and help them to hide the bodies

[Spencer10]

Well that thought is appropriate for today. lol

[Ariesman81Nshiiit]

No such thing as unconditional love. Even the big guy himself puts conditions on who is allowed into his kingdom. He loves all, and all are called to come, but that doesn't mean all will be able to enter.

[MrChinaski]

[Nikki1989]

There are always conditions in every aspect of life. If there wasn't, everything would be in a state of total chaos.

[LazerBean]

No it is not. There are always conditions, though sometimes they might be far fetched.

[Danny_dan92]

It can be, unfortunately too many people are unwilling to give it to their partners

[Plugs]

What do you think? Accept my follow request love

[MikeMetal79]

No cause if they cheat, or do hard drugs etc.

[ElenaLena]

Absolutely..

[Agape93]

Nope. Everyone has limits

[lilBigPotato]

Not a thing. There always a deal breaker.

[LotharioENERZY]

It's rarely exist.
