For me there would be. Two brings to mind the quote "I do not love you except because I love you" . The person's care is not dependent on being successful in the traditional sense, and would still be there if all I did was eat potato chips in bed. But then I would also find fault with the well being being bit. The person cares if I'm stable and not acting out but not
me.
