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.
I can't stand being in their
presence. Talk about a love/hate relationship; those
two are constantly bickering. They'
re such a pevy.
