What can it take for a woman to love unconditionally? I’m going against the trend of other answers. My response is that what it takes to love unconditionally is: poor boundaries and low self-esteem
My wife and I don’t love unconditionally. There were ways I behaved in the early part of our marriage that she quite rightfully didn’t like. She didn’t unconditionally accept me as I was. She raised the issues, and we ended up going through counseling and other efforts that led to growth and deeper empathy by both of us and major improvements in communication
I don’t want unconditional love, nor do I trust it. I want a relationship that is built on mutual commitment, with corresponding accountability.
I am comfortable that my wife loves me deeply. But if at some time my mental faculties decline and I lose my reason or for any reason become hurtful to her, I don’t want her to accept abuse from the person I’ve become. I’d want her to put her safety and peace of mind first
