Do you really think "Unconditional love" exist?

@NerdyPotato so whats your interpretation of "Unconditional love"

@SilentObZerver truly unconditional love means you love someone no matter what they do. It doesn't matter how they treat others, but also not how they treat you. If you love someone no matter how much they abuse you or threaten your life, that's not healthy. Any relationship, whether it be romantic or friendship, should have boundaries.

@NerdyPotato means per your statement, unconditional love can be problematic, as in , in the case where you love someone unconditionally but they take you for granted

@SilentObZerver not only when they take you for granted. If they can't do any wrong, that's problematic no matter if they always treat you right.

@NerdyPotato cant do any wrong?

@SilentObZerver yes. If even one wrongdoing could make a partner fall out of love, the love is conditional on that not happening. And some humans have done horrible things that should be unacceptable to any partner, so some conditions are good.

@NerdyPotato It’s an interesting question. But do you believe a parent could ever stop loving their child, even if that child did the very worst things possible? May or may not be healthy to continue loving them, but do you think they could stop?

@OlderSometimesWiser absolutely! I don't think my dad ever loved me even without any wrongdoing. It feels like he just wanted some help with chores and someone to make the dreams come true he couldn't fulfill himself.

@NerdyPotato I’m really sorry you experienced that. But do you believe it’s the case for all parents? For example, I think of interviews with Jeffrey Dahmer’s father where he actually said he still loved his son and in part blamed himself for not being able to get him the proper help.

@OlderSometimesWiser I guess love is complicated and multi-faceted. I highly doubt Jeffrey Dahmer's father loved him for being a serial killer. I can accept that he still loved other sides of him despite that though. If you split love into several aspects of someone, I believe love for some can be unconditional while thoroughly despising other aspects of the same person.

@NerdyPotato Unconditional love doesn't mean not having boundaries, though... you don't have to share a home with someone to love them unconditionally.

Even the Catholic Church gives people who live with abuse a way out of the situation.

@HootyTheNightOwl that's true... But loving someone who abuses you or even unalives you is rather unhealthy. Some things should make you fall out of love.
