I agree with the above.

The only examples of true unconditional love that I've seen have been between parent and child or between people and their pets. Romantic relationships are a much trickier issue. As Carrie said you might still love and respect them as people, but to love them completely unconditionally in a romantic sense? I doubt it's even possible.

Not even just romantic, but friendships and sibling relationships too. None of that stuff is really unconditional either contrary to what people say.

Yeah I agree when it comes to friends. That's definitely conditional. Not so sure about siblings though. I know that lots of people hate their siblings' guts but even if I try hard to imagine that my sister would do really bad things to me, I'd still love her as my sister. So at least it's possible.

By the way, is your username from the movie Splice? I thought that was a really cool little flick.

Ahhh, yes.

I find that repeating part of the statement in question always clarifies everything.

I hate this thread now.

With or without condition?

This thread is very interesting and fascinating. I love when something makes me think.

I have loved several people unconditionally, but like it's been mentioned here, it was not healthy. I've loved a couple of people who treated me terribly. I am much more guarded and sensible now and don't believe I could love anyone like that anymore.

I do have unconditional love with my best friend. He 's my soul mate and there is just nothing he could do to fuck up in my eyes. We've known each other going on 29 years now and nothing has ever happened to make me place conditions on him.

Has someone loved me unconditionally? I don't know but I goota think they have because I am fucking incredible.

I think loving someone unconditionally and excepting their bullshit unconditionally are 2 very seperat things.

It is also where addicts can get u.

If you loved my unconditionally (if you REALLY loved me) you would........

Although this thread is clearly not about children, we are also having a problem in this country with grown children using their parents "unconditional' love for them to have nearly free room and board unconditionally for an unlimitted amount of time. (basically until death wherebye middle aged brat gets the house/car/etc)

Same thing.

Conditions are conditions.

Period.

You can love your children unconditionally while not allowing them to become pariahs. Holding them accountable as grown adults has nothing to do with "love" but rather "parenting".

you are

Honestly, I don't know. I think it's difficult to tell how much someone loves me when I don't love them (and have never been in love). The one guy who said he loved me, I don't really believe he did. I think he thought he did, but knows as little about what love is as I do.

He didn't know the difference between love and infatuation, just like my ex bf.

Tough love is not just for kids.

alanon is for loved ones of alcoholics and they don't encourage the partners of alcoholics to just leave the addict. However they do encourage taking care of yourself and establishing boundaries. Unconditional love is not about being a "welcome mat" unconditionally.

unconditionally! I hope not, thats a bit scary if you ask me...

I did love someone dearly but just couldnt get over the fact that no matter how much I loved that person, no matter how much we had in common that "physical" spark was just not there for me :/

Be honest.

As for me, I used think I was loved once by a guy who I once saw as my soul mate, but looking back and looking at the situation for what it was, that really wasn't true love. So I'm a virgin still to true love.

What about you?

I would say no, but that man that I refused to date, cussed out and had arrested although he sent me flowers every week for months would be convinced he loved me romantically and uncondititionally......

I think a couple of them were either crazy stalkers or just plain lonely. I believed they loved me but that aint the kind of love I'm looking for.

Yes.

So those of you answering "by my kid(s)" and "by my pet(s)" are pretty
