Agreed. I personally believe only parents can have unconditional love with their kids, especially the mother.
Love between two adults is never unconditional, as each party has to be able to stand on their own and take care of themselves if need be. With healthy interdependence.
Something like this.
EDIT: I mean all this only if unconditional love means that we always stay present and take care of the other person.
You could still always unconditionally love your partner as an adult, from afar, if you two cannot otherwise remain in a close relationship in real life due to issues. It just would not be love that can materialise much.
