She feels attracted to a man who knows he's deserving of her love and affection and won't just give his love away. She doesn't want to give her love to a man who she doesn't respect. Your view of unconditional love might not match hers, see things from her POV and the light bulb turns on.


Yup, as much as I hate it, I saw the opportunity to get my family back, and I was willing to offer my love on her terms. She did give quite a bit back, in terms of her time, attention, affection, and admiration, but she held back a real committment to me, because I didn't make my love dependent on it.

You make an awesome point about her POV. I will try to put myself in her shoes.

She said she doesn't want to try to reconcile until I am no longer angry over what happened. Is this reasonable?
