People heard what said about unconditional love and ran with it… but let’s clarify 👇🏽
Unconditional love does NOT mean unconditional tolerance.
You can love someone deeply without requiring perfection…
but that doesn’t mean accepting disrespect, staying in unhealthy dynamics, or abandoning your needs.
Many people were taught that loving someone means you stay no matter what … even when it hurts.
But healthy love requires boundaries, safety, and reciprocity.
Also, not all love is the same.
Parent-child love is different from romantic love.
Romantic relationships come with expectations like respect, loyalty, effort, and emotional safety.
And if those needs aren’t met, walking away doesn’t mean you didn’t love them…
it means you chose yourself, too.
Because love may be unconditional…
but access to you is not.
✨ Real love includes boundaries.
