a Love-Hate relationship is a troubled one where both emotions, Love and Hate, are present at the same time in a relationship.


What should you do if you are in a Love-Hate relationship

It is generally agreed that you should just let the hate go away and concentrate on the love.

This is a ridiculous article. Should something be done to improve it, or should it be deleted? - Montréalais

Should be deleted, IMHO.

Is there any reason at all that this article deserves to be on Wikipedia? - Manika

KEEEP! 68,100 Google hits can't be wrong. The thing exists in reality and is also depicted in numerous movies.

improve yes but not to delete.

Keep! I created a stub from a long not working link in Love and within 24 hours lots of people participated ;-). Now, to the points by other people made here.

  1. Can this page be improved? Certainly, this page have less than one day old.
  2. Is this page really necessery? I've no idea, let's try to improve it and we shall see.
  3. Google test show over 68100 hits for love-hate relationship. Granted, this is usually figuratively meaning (like love-hate relationship with MS Windows), this is however undoubtly a state of human emotion. Some background searching in imdb.com for a love-hate string in imdb's plot descriptions shows some 16 examples, most notable is "Sister, sister" sitcom, describing the love-hate relationship between Lisa and Ray.
    1. I personally think that love-hate relationship can be described in fiction as a relationship between Sheperd/Willis in Moonlighthing, Ron/Hermione in Harry Potter series, Gable/Colbert in It Happened One Night. Those examples are of course a positive ones, i.e. leading to future romance.
    2. On the other hand love-hate relationships are also those relationships which form in sociopatic situations: examples include abused wife, who does not want to leave her husband claiming that she can change him etc.
    3. Sometimes fighting siblings can be described as having a love-hate relationship.
  4. However, love-hate relationship seems to be very broad term. Certainly it one can name sub-emotions of love-hate relationship.
  5. Additional point to consider. Even my Oxford's Learners Dictionary have an entry for love-hate relationship ;-)
  6. See also Love-hate song by Dion & Pavarotti [1]
  7. There is possibility of having more appropriate name for emotions exemplified above. In that case this page can be a redirect to such name.

Love/Hate Relationships in Fiction

Should Elaine and George of Seinfeld be listed here? I don't think there is any justification for the "hate" part of their relationship.
