Why Does My Partner's Love Seem Conditional?

Is adult love conditional? This is one of those deeper questions we all encounter at some point in our lives. It’s one that we all might have our own answer to, but we don’t have to agree on a shared answer in order to be in relationship with each other. This week, our asker wants to know, “Why does my partner’s love seem conditional?” Jules, Vickey and Rebecca respond to this question by addressing the conditionality of adult love and what that might mean, and also what it means when “seem” is the operative. This is a question that encompasses the physiology of how we experience love, the stories we tell ourselves about our partners, and the importance of healthy boundaries.
