Love is NOT unconditional when it comes to a mate
The closest thing love comes to being unconditional is with kids. Which is why parents forgive their kids over and over again and again.
But with your mate it is different. If your mate is a pain in the ass for a long enough time, you just trade their ass in for a new piece of ass.
It would be nice if people could just forgive and forget and bury the hatchet but as it turns out, they always remember where they buried the hatchet.

I think that unconditional love for a partner is possible, it's just nowhere near as common as we'd like to think. Most couples do not love each other unconditionally, and that includes many couples who have been happily married for decades. What I think is not love at all - not unconditional, not even conditional - is when people split up and then take revenge on their ex. If you love a person, or even have loved a person in the past, you shouldn't be capable of deliberately doing something just for the sake of hurting them. Argue/fight with them when you lose your temper maybe, or split up if you think you're not a good match anymore, but not rationally decide to hurt them just because you can. If you're willing to do that, I'm of the opinion that you never loved them to begin with. Maybe you liked them, you enjoyed their companionship, or you thought they were great in bed. But you never loved them, in the altruistic sense of caring about them and wanting the best for them. Side: Wait..., What? No!
