The only living thing I've ever known to give me unconditional love has been my Puggle.
I don't believe humans are capable.
He asked me a question: "What did you do for your fellow man?" www.youtube.com...
Jesus asked: "Have you learned to love?" www.youtube.com...
"It was ALL about the love..." www.youtube.com...
"Have you ever loved the way youve been loved here?" www.youtube.com...
"The message I brought back from my nde, or near death experience, was to love myself and others unconditionally." www.youtube.com...
He saw himself standing before God’s judgment throne and he could see Jesus looking at him as if to say, “How much love did I pour out on You? How much of it flowed out of you to others.”

I don't think you can strive for unconditional love... It is something that befalls you..or not. It is rare if two people love eachother unconditionally...
But I am not sure if unconditional love will tolerate a breach of trust.. or expectations...I dont think so..

Unconditional love is not ignoring the faults, crimes, or addictions of others. Doing so or living in denial of such, is far from loving that person. Unconditional Love is loving the individual and helping them overcome those undesirables, so they can be the best that they can be, happily. If the individual is not open to correction, you still can openingly love them unconditionally afar. One day, they may recognize that their was no malice in your intent and recognize that you really do care and love them unconditionally.
Not sure if I phrased this understandingly, but I tried.

Unconditional love is simply that. It is removing your own prejudice and value systems when loving another person as long as it is not directly damaging you. Even then, you can still love at a distance.

I think stepping away from the conditioning of main stream music and movies would be a positive for you.
Citing Katy Perry and Hollywood movies, Gone Girl, as a basis for your hypothesis is rather telling.
Step back from the mainstream illusion and you may see things in a different light.
Unconditional love is a beautiful thing, but it doesn't mean you have to leave your brain at the door.
