Both, love is both a choice and a feeling, for instance if my wife of ten years (this is hypothetical I'm not even married) cheated on me I might choose to not love her and to leave her and move on, so its not unconditional. But emotionally I in all likely hood would still be very much so in love with her, and no matter how much that feeling fades I think I would still always in someway love her. Cause and effect, conditions are logical, emotions aren't.

There is NO love on earth that is unconditional.

99,99999% Of humans can only give conditional love

We have an ego, so there is no unconditional love for us

If we manage to live without an ego

then perhaps we could

Romantic love is usually very conditional

The love between parents and children is closer to unconditional but

even that is not 100% unconditional.

Only when our ego dies completely, or we overcome it, we can achieve

unconditional love

Very few enlightened beings may be able to do that right now on earth

Well, I would like to say no love is unconditional. And I would guess that 98% of the time, that would be correct.

But then, I think the women I have known that stayed with their husband through episode and episode of infidelity. And some that suffered great abuse, but still stayed with her man.

Even if you could see other reasons for them staying, they said the reason was because they loved their husband. I would have to say, but not understand the why of it, that it was unconditional love.

Conditional. Your spouse turns out to be a pedophile who preys on your children. He/she leaves you and then stalks you, threatening you, holding your life hostage. Could you still love him or her, or would you lose the love in the disgust or fear? If you can stop loving for ANY reason in the world, then it's not unconditional.

I would say like to say unconditional...But then I'd be lying cause really to me no love is unconditional. I guess the right way to answer would be to say that once you truly love someone, they don't have to do anything to earn your love and you love them for all of them, bread and crust. But there are things they can do to ruin it. Being realistic I'm not going to love someone who treats me like trash no matter who they are.

Conditional can never be romantic ....... conditions , bondages can never reap the fruit of satisfaction or contetedness. Despite, all physical exercise with available means and luxuries of life , one can never have feeling being loved with conditions. Princess Diana had had all worldly luxury, no one can dreamt ......... even then she craved for the pure ......(biological) unedulterated love till her death.

Conditional of course!

If my romantic partner cut my tackle off or destroyed it or had an affair with my brother or curled in my squat rack, then they would find romantic love would be lost.

Everyone has conditions, you've got to be realistic :)

Conditional - though very strong. We can all say we love our partners - but if they were to cheat on us, to torture us, to murder someone, would you be able to love them? I know I never could. Only our children can receive this undying love, because it is a part of human nature.

Conditional, unless you are a doormat.

Only your children merit your unconditional love.
