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.
- Can this page be improved? Certainly, this page have less than one day old.
- Is this page really necessery? I've no idea, let's try to improve it and we shall see.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Sometimes fighting siblings can be described as having a love-hate relationship.
- However, love-hate relationship seems to be very broad term. Certainly it one can name sub-emotions of love-hate relationship.
- Additional point to consider. Even my Oxford's Learners Dictionary have an entry for love-hate relationship ;-)
- See also Love-hate song by Dion & Pavarotti [1]
- 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.
Moe and Marge?
I don't think the Calvin and Susie from Calvin and Hobbes has much foundation as a love-hate relationship. (sign you're posts!) NeoChrono Ryu 00:27, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
