I think we can consider our love unconditional, of course until he or she forgets to put the toilet lid down or forgets the favorite candy! lol, actually I think the only unconditional love is that the Lord has for his children. We are only human and make mistakes, so we can't say we have perfect, unfailing love.

Yes , true unconditional love exist, but for humans, unlike God it takes more time in a relationship to feel such a thing. I have been in a relationship for four years, and if our love was not unconditional, we would be separated by now. Love grows, and unconditional love is a prize at the end of a long race.

The closers thing to unconditional love is experience trough parenthood, or in wear cases when one has spend there life with someone. For example the got married when the were every young and never got divorce, they are almost 60 or 70 years old since they have grow together and live every moment of life together there love is not conditional any more it dose not deepened on pleasure or how much can one get from the other is true since at that age it doesn't have any other options.

I think the strongest bond is between a child and their mother. Kids can do some bad stuff and where a mother will be ready to kill the kid she always comes around to defend and support her child.
Two unrelated adults always will have conditions. They will mutually agree to not cheat with another person, not to hurt each other. Often the attraction is strong enough that they are able to forgive somethings. But I guess if someone hurt the other the "unconditional" maybe is only from one side of the couple.
I guess if there is true "unconditional" love between two people you will never test it. They will always lookout for each other and not do the things that would test their relationship.

I'm pretty sure it does. And not just within the immediate family group. I would say that it is probably rarest in the romantic sense. The love between friends can be unconditional and I don't think that is rare at all, its certainly not rare between familes.
Romantically though. Well the issue is, if someone you love unconditionally and are romantically involved with continuously tests that love, continually hurts you. You may well back away romantically, but still love that person unconditionally. So the romantic side of the relationship is conditional but that is not the whole of loving someone.

There is such a thing that is unconditional love - we always refer it to God. This is so because in saying something that is unconditional is always attributed to the perfection - and when we say it is for perfection, it is always attributed to God or the Supreme Being.
We as human beings are less likely to manifest unconditional love. This is due to the fact with our nature - in our nature which limited, finite - we are not in capable of something that is perfect - that is why we say it is only close to perfection (perfection is even subjective for us).
For example, when we commit a sin... does God hate us? No. God is forgiving (because if God would hate us, it will defy His nature of being Perfect). Does a man would hate us? Yes, though man can be forgiving, but it takes a while first (the feeling of hate, irritation, or just frustration would exist or would be present even though at minimal) - and it is just like, you truly love your husband but he keeps on hitting or battering you, would you choose to love your husband the way you used to? Most likely not.
Lastly, human beings love in the conditional level since whether you like it or not we always expect in any way (like just to be respected) that makes it conditional.

Unconditional love is only found in God and maybe in the relationship between mother and child. For everyone else, I think there are a lot of conditions.

If there is, it probably only exist between a parent and a child. No romantic love is unconditional. Is being someone's child a condition?

Unconditional love does exist, but not in people. Forgiveness is the key to true love. Betrayal, adultery, lies, and abuse all contribute to the downfall of love. People aren't perfect. That's why, no matter what happens in a relationship, a couple needs to continue to love each other.
