Do you believe unconditional love is possible in romantic relationship

6 Comments

Do you believe unconditional love is possible in a romantic relationship? Example if my husband wound up in a wheelchair or was burned in a fire, I'd still love him and want to be with him. A friend of mine was saying he has never felt that way about a woman he was with. Since he's 40ish I felt sorry for him.

Do you believe in the type of unconditional love where you'd love your partner/spouse if they were wheelchair bound or burnt in a fire exists?

Yes, I abelieve it exists and I have it 13

No, I don't believe it exists 11
I don't know whether it exists or not 4

    There's always a condition. You can say what you want, but if your spouse cheats on you with a dozen different women behind your back or becomes a murderer or abuses you severely, you cannot remain loving them afterwards. Now, wheelchairs and fire burns suck and all but it doesn't mean unconditional love. That just means you love them as a person instead of an object. Which is wonderful, of course, but I don't believe that any love is unconditional.

    Yes, of course it does. Personal story: my dad has remained married to my mom for over 2 decades despite her having a mental illness and not being able to work.

    And no, there's no feeling sorry here. He married her knowing full well she had her illness. Why? Because they were in correspondence since he was 15, her being in America and him in South Africa. They married when he was 27. He flew over to the US at his own expense and said if things didn't work out he'd pay his way back and would remain in contact. They ended up flying back here to SA and have remained happily ever since.

    That's pure love and respect.

    Does a mother love her children unconditionally? Many do but some don't. Men love similarly with women. This is a love only the provider can give, and men looking for that kind of love from their spouse are destined for pain.

    If your husband was wheelchair bound, couldn't take a shit by himself and had thousands in hospital bills, you would most likely find a reason to leave him, and trick yourself into believing it to be true.

    I feel more sorry for you than for the person who can't "unconditionally love". This doesn't exist in the real world, at least in the romantic world it certainly doesn't.

    Believing it does just sets yourself up for a big fall when you finally come to the realization that you've been duped by all the rom com's you've absorbed over the years.

    Nope. That's like believing in unicorns.
