Why does unconditional love not exist?
Unconditional love does not exist in such a relationship, or, if it does, it is a sign of a problem rather than a good thing. The reason I say this is that mutuality is the foundation of a primary, intimate relationship. So to be loved in such a relationship, you have to meet needs of that person.
Is there no such thing as love?
There’s absolutely such a thing as love. Whether you think it’s something spiritual, something romantic, or just a bunch of chemicals, love is a real thing.

Can unconditional love exist without dualism?
“Unconditional love can only exist once we have moved through the motions of conditional love.
