I can respect your pointing out that unconditional love does not exist. At the same time, wouldn't you agree that it seems that many people's "breaking points" are incredibly weak?
I definitely agree. It seems to me that it is most often a lack of clearly communicating what is a "deal breaker." Poeple usually hide their worst fears rather than being clear. If it is being fat then you better point that out. If it is having kids, you better discuss it. I think a lot of people underestimate marraige and its significance. That said, people also tend to change a lot, especially if they marry young. And when you both change and change in different directions you are either gonna be miserable for a long time or call it a marraige and move on. I'd prefer the latter personally, which may be why I am still single ;)
