Unconditional Love

My Comment: Internal division prevents us from loving unconditionally, which causes all kinds of relationship issues. We must be complete within ourselves through the spiritual understanding of self-love first. It is very easy if we realize that this is an absolute must; otherwise, we will suffer if we ignore this fact and proceed unconsciously in a relationship. Osho has also said it many times to love unconditionally. 

Different Take on it: Unreasonable expectations are unhealthy, but reasonable ones are fine, I’d say. Unconditional love is mainly for self-love and spiritual evolution—ultimately leading to liberation. But for a relationship to sustain, it must be mutual love and respect, and not from one side. 

The points below are also relevant if one partner gets nothing in return, as what's the point of having a relationship then? hahaha. 

AI Baba: 

A man-woman relationship based on unconditional love, where one partner receives nothing in return, is generally considered unsustainable and often toxic rather than a healthy, functioning partnership. While offering love without expectation is noble, true romantic partnerships require mutual respect, boundaries, and reciprocity to avoid enabling abuse or fostering self-destruction. 

Limits of Unconditional Love: Many experts believe unconditional love is not sustainable in romantic relationships; while possible for children or a divine concept, adult relationships typically require mutual, conditional, or reciprocal love.

Risk of Imbalance: Constantly giving without receiving leads to one-sided relationships that may signify a lack of self-love rather than an abundance of love for the partner.

Definition of Healthy "Unconditional" Love: In a practical, healthy context, "unconditional" often means having unconditional positive regard and treating the partner with love, but it must include maintaining personal boundaries and self-respect.

When It Becomes Toxic: If the relationship involves enabling bad behavior or sacrificing your own well-being, it is no longer a healthy, loving partnership. 

A relationship requires balance; while you can love someone without demanding daily returns, lasting partnerships are based on mutual effort, care, and respect.
