When a child grows up with, conditional love. 

Unfortunately, (unknown to the child) to have a healthy relationship, they will have to learn unconditional love.

What does this mean for the child, that is now an adult?

It means that they love fast and deeply, because it is an immensely beautiful feeling, of course.

THE CATCH: 

The child never learns how to truly love, but only to mirror it. Thus an invisible on/off switch was developed within them.

As long as someone loves them, the adult/child will mirror love shown to them. 

*The minute someone does not show love anymore towards them.

An invisible switch is turned off (unknown to the adult/child). This makes it easy for the adult/child to walk away. And never look back, thinking that they simply fell out of love.

or 

The love time, has expired.

• There are many reasons for this to happen. For example: A person must refocus their attention on family members, job, and health. They also need to handle any number of life events that need attention. But the adult/child doesn’t understand.
