Do we truly love unconditioned?

I always hear people say true love is unconditional, but funny enough when people love, it is everything else but unconditional. There are boundaries regulations, controls, limitations, sacrifices, do and do nots in their unconditional love. So just by saying that, how can one say they have found their true love but stipulate, limit, mutilate and sacrifice it?
Why do people think by boxing in and controlling love and holding on to it like their live depends on it, that love will last forever the way they encountered it or at all?
I haven’t really found an answer or explanation for that, neither somewhat of an intelligent conclusion. I guess this is one of the things that just are the way they are.
Maybe it is pure wish being. Or maybe its somewhat like crack it blows our mind and we wish the ride would last forever.

Some love is unconditonal! It's the "relationship" that has boundaries and it should. People view "relationship" and "Love" as the same thing and they are two different entities. "Love" is an emotion, "Relationship" is a committment. The reason I said some love is uncondtional is because love is an emotion therefore it is different for everybody. No one loves the same, just like no one reacts the same to the same situation. Unconditional love is the purest of emotions, because it is complete control over an emotion, only a small percentage of human beings will ever be able to have complete control over their emotions. People get "forgiveness confused with "unconditional love" just because you forgive someone doesn't mean you "love uncondtionally!!" When you view love as it is and that is an "emotion" then you start realizing why so many people have so many different explanations for love, so many different stories about love and so many different views on love.
