Sure, people can take advantage of you. But so what?
I allow myself to be taken undue advantage of.
(Something like 'the rose which grants its fragrance to the hand that crushes it')
It may sound too idealistic or impractical. But what harm can it cause?
Thanks for the Romans 12:9 reference.

Unconditional love does not mean unconditional tolerance. I can love someone unconditionally and still forbid certain things. Would you be okay with your child hitting you or others, or stealing from you, or doing hard drugs because you love him unconditionally?

When that love is not reciprocated. Jesus loves his executioners, but that didn't help them much.

Unconditional love doesn't mean becoming a doormat for the other.
According to quite a few people, love is 100% acceptance, so you accept the other person fully BUT you don't have to put up with him as you love yourself too.
The interpretation of unconditional love goes wrong.

100% of the time.
It is the devil's oldest and best trick. Evil only hides, spreads and destroys using 'universal tolerance.'
Real love hates evil and has the greatest possible passion for goodness.
"Love must be free of hypocrisy. Detest what is evil; cling to what is good." (Romans 12:9).
People who take 'universal tolerance' all the way end up worshiping cows, starving and living to the age of 25, (like people in India in the year 1800), then end up needing Christians to rescue their society anyway.
