Unconditional love is: what your dog feels for you.
Unconditional love isn't: what any adult human feels for you. |
A pet's relationship to you is warped by the fact that they are dependent on you for their survival, as are babies and children. I think true love can only exist where both parties know they can survive independently of each other. |
How sad that you feel this way. |
+1 You have never experienced true love if you think that. |
No, he or she has been in an actual long-term relationship that - oh my God! - isn't like a damn movie. |
You must not have read the actual article. |
There's nothing substantial there. |
+1. The article was a confused mess. The author attempts to generalize from very specific contexts and the end result is contradictory mumbo jumbo. |
The article was attempting to redefine "unconditional" for no reason other than a desire to use the word without being accused of being in an unhealthy relationship. |
| Apologies to all the narcissistic idealists. There is no unconditional love between mature adults. There is committed, passionate, invested, and compromised-filled love. Life is too complicated to pretend otherwise. -- https://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/05/29/opinion/sunday/why-you-will-marry-the-wrong-person.html |
| Unconditional love- having sex with your DH when he is in the mood but you really aren't. |

Idiotic article. She wants to love conditionally but have the title of "unconditional love" because it sounds nice and romantic. I guess.
|
| Actual unconditional romantic love is creepy as hell. That's why this author needs to radically redefine the word "unconditional" into the opposite of what it actually means. |
