Unconditional Love, Is It a Thing?

In romantic relationships it is something to aspire to.
As a parent, it very much does exist.

More context is required to answer the question. The word "love" is loaded - fraught with so many different meanings, depending on circumstances, on age, on whether the relationship is vertical or horizontal. Too often it's conflated with feelings not even related to love - like obsession, dependence, etc.

I think it exists on all plains, relationships and family
for a child or parent I think its easier of course but it still exists
what people have to realize though is, you could still be loved and divorced, left, cut off etc . . .

It is absolutely a thing. I have a wife, two daughters and 6 siblings who I love unconditionally.

I doubt many couples have unconditional love. Do you? really?
If your wife promised she wouldn't have sex with the lawn crew anymore, after she promised to stop having sex with a roofing crew, after promising to stop having sex with other people in the neighborhood and at work - never stopping at all - using family money to pay the way for her lovers including buying them liquor and drugs - would you tell her that you still love her just as much because your love is unconditional? While you could claim you still love her, but... even that "but" is a condition, isn't it?
Almost all couples draw the line on "unconditional" at adultery. They also likely would for stealing everything because they are a drug addict and many other reasons.

Trump really does own your brain, doesn't he?
