Is "unconditional love" a myth, or am I just selfish?

Listen , I am 26M and I have come to a point in my life , where I have paused now and trying to realise what exactly love means ? Looking at uncountable number of movies , songs , books that are being produced around the feeling called love , i understand that this is the most powerful force in universe. But on contrary my personal experiences have made me question , have I really felt love for another person ? I am an only child btw for more context , and I feel like I always expect something in return from the people I care. I expect them to care about me the same way I care about them.I expect that they would notice small mood changes in me and be there for me when I am emotionally down. This contradicts with the popular opinion that love should be unconditional and should not expect anything from that person. But is that possible ? Do you not get exhausted caring about a person who would not resiprocate that same feelings towards you ? Is that I am just a selfish person or is it in reality possible ? To do everything for someone you love and still its okay even if they not even give back 10% of the effort you put for them ? Should I fix myself and be less selfish and be okay to be a good lover ?

Thinking of buying a pawn of gold for the long term since prices dipped from the Jan peak. Good move? Also, where to buy?

Hey guys,

I’m looking to park some savings for the long term , and I’m considering gold. Specifically looking at buying just one pawn of 22K gold coin

Since gold prices have dipped a bit compared to the all-time highs back in January, it feels like a decent entry point. Do you think it’s a good move to lock some cash into gold right now?

Also, where are some reliable places to buy gold coins in Colombo?

What does the daily routine look like in a serious relationship ?

Hi, I am 26M. I have only been in one relationship, and that was some time ago. Now I have this anxiety and really don't know if my way of looking at things is correct or not. In a stable relationship, what does the daily routine look like? How often do you have to call? How often do you text? How often do you think you need to see each other? How fast should things be moving?
