Author redblack66 Posted December 1, 2009 Author Posted December 1, 2009 If you consider romantic love, unconditional love would mean that the person giving it, doesn't want love or anything in return and is happy to just love that person, no matter how they're treated. After all, what does unconditional mean? I should have been more specific. I am not there if the person says: I will love you so much if we get this house or this car. I did not mean unconditional in its "purest" sense. So that's my perspective on unconditional love. It doesn't exist except for the first few months after birth, between a mother and her child, when the mother is aware her child isn't yet capable of giving love. After that, a mother expects reciprocated love whether she's willing to admit it or not. Very wise. Glad you wrote this. Anyways, sorry to go off-topic but I wanted to explain to you what I meant since you didn't understand. And it's true, I don't believe what you believe. In relationships not only is love important but also all aspects of need within each person. If the two of you aren't compatible, you're in for a rocky ride and most often, serious heartbreak. Love is never enough. Yes, it seems that love is rarely enough.
