People often say, "I love you unconditionally," but I've always wondered if unconditional love really exists. Most relationships involve some form of exchange, whether it's emotional support, companionship, security, kindness, or even financial help. That doesn't make the love fake you know, but it does make me wonder where the line is
if someone benefits from having you in their life, does that automatically make their love conditional? Or is mutual benefit simply part of a healthy relationship?
If you realised someone was getting more from you than you were from them, would you become more guarded, or would you still keep your heart open? And share what you think?
