RE: The Honest Truth: My Unconventional Relationship
If you truly love something, that love must be unconditional. For me, poly has taught me (and is teaching me) how to love unconditionally.
And that lesson (of loving unconditionally) is one of the most difficult lessons I've ever chosen to explore.
Gosh, when you put it like that then yes, it's the path the true happiness. Unconditional love is kind of Utopian though, wouldn't you say? I mean in terms of romantic relationships. Your exploration could be the path to unconditional love of oneself, and that could be true enlightenment.
You mentioned communication - Yes, Yes, Yes! That's where I fall down in my relationship and it's becoming more and more apparent to me. Now that you've got me thinking about it, it does seem like your path is the right path for you. It's so fascinating and I thank you for putting this out there.
Well unconditional love can be tough because sometimes it means accepting a reality that you weren't expecting. Like for instance, maybe a relationship is no longer romantic - unconditional love can still exists between two people regardless if the romance still exists. Whereas with conditional love, if romance is the condition, then love will not exist after the romance dissolves. So yeah it's kind of a utopian idea but the reality of it is not necessarily always this utopia if that makes sense.
It definitely feels like an exploration of self-love! I've definitely been learning a lot from it :)
