How does one make out which type of love the partner is giving ?
Does unconditional love still exist in this day and age ?
What are the percentages of both ?
Can anyone share their experiences ?

unconditional love is a love a mother/father feels towards their child. A love that no matter what will ever change. I've never heard of a conditional love, but I suppose there can be such a thing.

Conditional love is that you will love them and do right by them, they mess up (cheating,etc) you or they are gone. This is the type that you would have for a partner.
Unconditional love is anything that happens, that you will still love them no matter what. This is the type of love that you have for your family (your kids, parents,etc.)
Which type of love the partner is giving...well that depends on what they will forgive you for as to which one they have for you.
Yes unconditional love does still exist in this day and age. I have it for my kids and such. But I will not have it for a bf or a husband any more. When a partner has this type of love for them, the other has a tenancy to take it for grant.
What are the percentages of both? That one I don't have a clue.
My experience with both are, anything my kids would do, I might not like it but they are my kids and I will still love them.
My x husband and my x bf, will I did have unconditional love for them but they took advantage of it and both ended up cheating on me so now if I did ever get another boyfriend, it will not be unconditional love that is for sure, a person can only take so much.
Well I hope this answered your questions like you wanted.

Unconditional is you love the person no matter what. Conditional love means you have to earn the love and the love can go away if you do something wrong. Unconditional love is usually only found in families (between mother and daughter for example). Most love relationships between boyfriends and girlfriends or husbands and wives are based on conditional love because if someone is unfaithful they might stop loving them. Some may not however, and love their partner no matter what.

unconditional love; love that exists without limits, a christlike love. parents sometimes love their children unconditionally, even if they do stuff that is hurtful to others and themselves, they may tell them what not to do, punish them, lecture, etc., but the kid always knows that the parent will love them no matter what. in marriages, or partnerships, unconditional love does exist sometimes, but if it is one-sided, the party on the giving end may give up at some point; like you are an alcoholic, but i love you unconditionally, but after 25 relapses, who can say if the other person can take any more? i think there are some people who do this until death, but i am not sure if it's good. conditional love is love with conditions placed upon it; like i will only love you if you give me nice gifts, or do what i expect you to do; if you don't, i will leave you. most parents love unconditionally, even if they have to disipline; but in relationships, many people walk away from problems they see as not possible to solve, or they "fall out of love", parents don't usually fall out of love with their kids. but at least 50% of married people, or higher, get divorced for one reason or another. unconditional love works best, in my expierience, when both adult parties are on an even basis, and respect each other, and talk about their feelings for each other, even if its not the nicest thing to say, without really bashing the other. this is a kind of unconditional love, because each person knows they are safe to express themselves to the other, without hitting below the belt, [respect], and the other will probably not leave them. the only true example of unconditional love is the love the creator has for his people. hope that helps. good day.

Conditional love: Loving someone based on conditions (i.e. they don't lie or cheat or make you feel bad or whatever).
Unconditional love: Loving someone no matter what (even if they make you cry or feel bad or whatever). In other words, virtually non-existant.
It's simple. If your partner would ever break up with you, or stop talking to you, then it's conditional love.
Does unconditional love "still" exist? When has it ever existed?
I'm debating trying to love unconditionally, but to do that, I think I would want to be single.

It has been argued that there is no such thing as unconditional love. We love others because they give us things like companionship, sex, offspring, nurture, food, shelter, clothing, moral support, whatever rings your chimes. Withdraw that element and all of a sudden that person is not the "true love" one thought they were. An unspoken condition of that love is gone, and there goes the love.
I would have to say that the only unconditional love I can imagine would be faith based. Lord knows how trying faith can be.

Conditional love is the most common kind of love.
Unconditional love only exists in novels and in dogs.

People are not very forgiving these days so the unconditional love is hard to find!
You can tell if your partner would love you by the things they say!
And their actions!

Unconditional love is when you love somebody irregardless of their faults, idiosyncricies, mistakes they have made, health issues, etc....Conditional love is when you only love the things in a person that are pleasing to you.

conditional love: you expect in return
unconditional love: you dont expect anything in return. you want to love him all your life.
but unc love is rare to find in todays fast food world. ppl feel there has to be mutual giving and taking even in love, which i do not argue with. without knowing that your partner loves u in the same way as you love him, how can you continue in your relationship.
