Love is truly UNCONDITIONAL because it's just ACCEPTANCE but relationships always eventually bring all kinds of conditions in the form of EXPECTATIONS.
Some of these expectations are REAL because the relationship can't exist and sustain itself without them (things like being loyal, committed and promising to riding through changes together, etc.).
Others are UNREAL because people expect things of others as a way of AVOIDING THEMSELVES or crossing boundaries that shouldn't and can never be crossed.
In these cases (when somebody has unreal expectations of you because of their own ego 'stuff') there's nothing wrong with disappointing them (it will maybe even do them a favour in the long-term by bringing some REALNESS into the picture).

Love and relationships are two different beasts.
Love is truly UNCONDITIONAL because it's just ACCEPTANCE but relationships always eventually bring all kinds of conditions in the form of EXPECTATIONS.
Some of these expectations are REAL because the relationship can't exist and sustain itself without them (things like being loyal, committed and promising to riding through changes together, etc.).
Others are UNREAL because people expect things of others as a way of AVOIDING THEMSELVES or crossing boundaries that shouldn't and can never be crossed.
In these cases (when somebody has unreal expectations of you because of their own ego 'stuff') there's nothing wrong with disappointing them (it will maybe even do them a favour in the long-term by bringing some REALNESS into the picture).
Stay real out there,
Oli
