What is a love-hate relationship?


Arguments and ego clash are common in all relationships and these disagreements lead to a better understanding of each other for both parties. You can say a love-hate relationship is the one in which interpersonal conflict is consistent with mixed emotions or feelings of love and hate toward your partner.


A love-hate relationship is filled with more conflicts and frustration than happiness and love. Sometimes you want to break up with the partner, and sometimes you want to spend the rest of your life with them.

Somethings that can lead to a love-hate relationship

No emotional connection


When you want to see the perfection in everything and don’t want to accept the flaws, then you might find yourself lacking in all the emotional connections with your partner. A beautiful relation cannot be accomplished without accepting the good as well as bad traits of your soul mate.


You don’t support each other


It is the main point in a relationship to support each other from every aspect; having someone in life with unconditional support is a great blessing from God. Lacking the support factor in a relationship indicates love-hate relation.
