The dynamics of the love/
hate relationship are based on both mutual admiration and irritation.
Usually such a relationship is formed unintentionally by people who are complete opposites being flung together, such as an introduction through a mutual friend.
Although unsuited to each other's presence, the lover/haters
will usually find it
hard to exclude the other from their life and
day-to-
day activities.
Similar to an abusive relationship, the lover/haters constantly crave more conflict while subconsciously seeking the other's approval.
Previously, those engaged in a love/
hate relationship were commonly referred to as lover/haters, however the term "pevy" as now surpassed the phrase lover/haters.
