i do not think so.... we always place conditions on love..... *do not cheat*... *do not lie to me* ...*never raise your hand to me* .. etc etc.... so therefore does unconditional love really exist?... and if it did or does would it really be the fairytale or ideal that people seem to think?

It is possible yes, but not many people will experience it in their lifetime. Love is more often than not misconstrued.
Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

By the examples you cite, you are probably talking about a man-woman relationship. I'm no expert by any means and I'm not really sure what "love" means - it's different things to different people. However, some of the examples above are not exactly "conditions". They are mutual understandings or expectations of a certain kind of behaviour and respect for each other and for the relationship in which the man and woman have invested their trust. The fact that love can be withdrawn when those understandings are reneged upon, does not mean love never existed, just that the qualities which MADE one person love the other no longer exist. Of course, there are those who will tolerate cheating, lying and violence and who will not withdraw their love. In those cases I can only conclude that either their definition of love is very different to mine or that, for some reason, their expectations are very much lower than mine.

i know it is.. how do i know i live it.. my wife love me unconditionally. it the most unbelievable love you can ever get.. not many know how to do it.. our marriage was on the outs and we were fighting and my wife was so unhappy.. well some were or someone told her about unconditional love. and she wanted to keep our marriage. so she said" i will try it.." at first i thought she lost her mind.. and then i thought it was a trick.. then i saw she was going to love me no matter how much of a jerk i was going to be.. and then something happen to me because i wanted to love her back just as much as she was loving me.. and very slowly i did.. i'm not as good as she is. i am selfish and a jerk but that doesn't matter to her. do we fight yes but it only last a short time. we talk about why we are fighting and fix it right then. we have been married for over 40+ yrs.. and each day i love her more!!!!! each day is a joy. to beable to wake up to know she will be there loving me. she does not put any conditions on our love!! she love me with all my flaws all my habits. we tell each other every thing good or bad. that was a hard one for me to learn i was so use to hiding stuff. no lies never any cheating. when we first got married. she told me if you hit me i will wait until you are asleep. and i will find something like a 2/4. and beat the **** out of you. so if you don't hit me i will not beat you. and that has worked for us.. i can tell you for sure that unconditional love works and is a live here with me and my wife.. i know my kids wish they had what we have but they are too selfish to let go and just love

Are those conditions placed on love? or on our working relationship? If you ever lied or cheated or raised your hand to me. I would be out of our relationship in a nano second..but., I would still love you, just not like what you did,,,the love had to be established for some reason and those qualities might just still be there,,that is if you were showing your true self before the relationship was formed....
OMG, making me think this early in the day....

Only love for your children should be unconditional other than that I agree with you. No one is perfect and you should never trust someone 100%. It's an unrealistic notion and hard to live up to.

The ONLY unconditional love is the love of a parent for their children. Children do not love their parents unconditionally. Romantic love can be spoiled very easily. A dog will not love someone who is very abusive. Your child can hate you, treat you unconscionably, be a murderer, drug addict...or whatever...and their parent would still love them NO MATTER WHAT!

yes, i believe in unconditional love. you make good points, though. i just think that there are some relationships that will always hold a special bond. like the relationship between a parent and a child. or one sibling with another. it sounds corny, but those kind of relationships will always hold some kind of love no matter what the other person does.

My love for my child is but it may alter when it comes to my childs father, i love him dearly, but maybe sometimes i place conditions on our love just a little, but like i said my love for my child as a mother is unconditional always and forever.

The only unconditional love I've ever seen is between people and animals. And it's only been on the animals part.

I think love among humans is conditional, but love from God is unconditional.
