Is your love unconditional? explain why or why not.

In my experience there seems to have always been conditions of one kind or another.

It's the only way I know how to love, I don't like changing people or controlling them. And as long as there's mutual respect and you don't become toxic or an asshole, it remains this way.

@SW-User That's really nice...but, you admit yourself that you have limits...we all do...so few of us really love unconditionally.

@Fernie

I guess it comes down to how you define "unconditional love."

To me, respect & being a decent human being aren't *limits* they're *standards*.. pretty basic ones.

"Unconditional love" means you love them and support them just the way they are, if they were an asshole, I doubt I'll even love them in the first place.

@SW-User I get what you're saying and I agree that it depends on a person's definition of "unconditional" but I believe relationships, are working partnerships and they require conditions, boundaries, limits, and directions to run smoothly. So often assholes do not reveal their assholeishness until way into the relationship. Then the conditions begin. I think you are more loving than I am...:>

@Fernie I never talked about relationships, I talked about love, those are two very different things, they overlap, and sometimes people confuse them with each other.. but they are indeed very different. One is a feeling, the other a social construct.

@SW-User I get that you're talking about love...but you said "It's the only way I know how to love, I don't like changing people or controlling them. And as long as there's mutual respect and you don't become toxic or an asshole, it remains this way." I'm just saying, agreeing that there are limits so unless I am Ghandi..there will always be conditions...you said it yourself
