Greetings,
In regard to your inquiry, the answer may be contingent upon the manner in which it is interpreted.
I would like to pose a few questions in a different form.
For example, if the response to the question is affirmative,
Thus, when one is in a romantic relationship, it is often the case that the individual in question feels that they are providing their partner with a certain value that motivates the partner to love them.
Is the value in question financial, emotional, or temporal?
If the value provided is no longer present, is it accurate to conclude that the other person will cease loving you, and that they will continue to love you as long as you continue to provide it?
Moreover, if another individual is capable of providing this value, is it still the case that the other person will continue to love them?
The question thus arises as to whether it is possible for an individual to love everyone at all times, or whether such a capacity is limited to specific periods.
If you still consider the aforementioned situation to be a possibility,
Let us now shift our focus and consider an alternative subject.
The concepts of love and acceptance are not exclusive to romantic relationships.
One might also consider the role of friendship in this context. What about one's best friend? What about one's mother and father?
One might also consider the following question: What if they were your own children? (If this has not yet been considered.)
To the same question, what value do you believe you have provided that has led to their love and acceptance?
Even if one is unfortunate and experiences a lack of reciprocated love, it is still possible to love another person. At the very least, if one has experienced love from another,
The question thus arises as to whether love is bestowed upon others as a result of the value they provide.
Furthermore, it is essential to inquire whether the subject in question loves and accepts themselves.
When one loves and accepts oneself, is the result an increase in self-value? And what is the value of the self?
The question posed is, at least in part, illogical. Even if one is limited to the concept of "value" as a criterion for evaluation, there are some phenomena that cannot be explained with sufficient clarity.
Even if one provides a clear explanation of one's own perspective, it is still possible to pose these questions to others or to consider them in the context of various fictional narratives.
It will become evident that some relationships are truly inexplicable.
Love may emerge without an understanding of its origin and evolve into a profound sentiment.
This description is, in fact, accurate.
From my own perspective,
It can be reasonably argued that the original poster's assertion contains a degree of veracity.
However, this does not necessarily imply a definitive conclusion.
This is because relationships are always a two-way street.
For example, if one is able to continue to provide the value that the other person has always sought,
It is probable that he will become increasingly enamoured of you. Furthermore, if he is also able to provide you with the value you desire,
If one is direct, the relationship will become stronger and the level of acceptance between the two parties will increase.
Such a situation is indeed a possibility.
However, the key to this is first of all that you gain an understanding of each other's needs and capabilities.
The process of giving and receiving must be comfortable, reasonable, and not exhausting for either party.
Furthermore, over time, an understanding, trust, and acceptance of each other's love is developed, accompanied by the reciprocal giving of love of equal value.
It is my contention that it is not possible for an individual to love and accept others without some form of expectation or desire for reciprocity.
The concept of "no expectations, no returns" may, in fact, represent a form of gratification.
However, it is not the same level of gratification as he anticipated.
Even in the case of a long-term unrequited crush, the individual in question may be unable to discount the possibility that they have previously experienced a similar feeling.
It appears that they are residing in a world of their own creation.
The act of over-giving is predicated on the assumption that the other person will perceive and subsequently respond to the gesture. It is possible that an individual may err in their assessment and expend more resources than is prudent.
However, it can be argued that if one provides too much, a response will be forthcoming.
In the event that it is evident that no outcome will ensue, a definitive rejection will be forthcoming, accompanied by long-term disappointment and loss.
It is not possible to truly give without receiving in the long run, unless one is moved by the process of giving.
This is because we all love ourselves the most.
To be frank, if one's inquiry is hypothetical and one believes one is no longer able to provide value to one's partner or feels too exhausted to do so, the question then becomes, "Will the other person not love and accept me?"
This may be attributed to the fact that we love ourselves.
The desire to receive continuous, uninterrupted love and acceptance from another person without offering anything in return.
In other words, is it of consequence whether the other person evinces love or not, and whether they provide value or not?
In accordance with the original poster's line of reasoning, self-love allows for the continued provision of value, love, and acceptance of oneself.
The question thus arises as to whether it is of consequence whether others love one or not, or whether they accept one or not.
One might reasonably conclude that this will not be an issue.
The aforementioned information is intended for reference only and is presented in the hope that it will be found to be satisfactory.

I understand your concern, but loving and accepting someone isn't solely based on what value you can provide; true love is unconditional and values the person as a whole, including their emotional support.
It's important to remember that relationships are about give and take. While providing value is significant, being loved and accepted also means being cherished for who you are, beyond just what you can offer.
Feeling valued goes beyond what you contribute. Sometimes it's the presence and the love itself that matters most. People who truly care about you will accept you for all aspects of yourself, not just your contributions.
Love and acceptance shouldn't be conditional on providing value. In healthy relationships, people appreciate each other for their inherent worth and the emotional connection they share, not just for what they can get from one another.
Worrying about not providing enough value can stem from insecurity. True acceptance comes from a place of understanding and love that transcends the exchange of value, encompassing emotional and personal growth together.
