it's that true statement? i'd never had in that kind of relationship because how can you love the person if you hate him?

Maybe for some people that this statement is true.On my part,I don't think so that this statement will work if in the first place you hated that person then on the contrary you have love him more.This is very contradicting.

Hello, I agree that you can love and hate a person at the same time. It's really the same emotion. It's the same as when you love a guy who cheats on you. Then you hate him because you loved him so much. I heard somewhere that the opposite of love is not hate but indifference. So you know that someone doesn't love you when they are indifferent and don't care about you. And you will know when you are done loving them when you don't care where they wake up the next day.

i haven't been in a relationship with a person whom i hate. they always say the more you hate, the more you love. but i don't find it healthy. why love someone you hate? or why love someone who hates you as well? it's not necessary to push yourself to someone who hates you. it's a waste of time and effort. it's not worthy loving someone who can't love you back.

I have never heard this statement before. I don't agree. One has nothing to do with the other.

It doesn't make sense to me either but I've been through it with my ex. Even when I hated him, I still cared about him, which I hated. but we did have three kids together so I guess it was hard for me to turn my feelings off. It got easier for me to get over him though since he wants nothing to do with his kids. I try not to hate him now though, I don't think hating someone is healthy and it ends up hurting the person who is doing the hating more. A waste of energy.

yes! People really dont know how to interpret fellings. Their own personalities and reactions are so complex to them that they sometimes don't realize that what they're feeling is somewhat different from the interpretation they gave in the first place...That's why when the hate for someone grows, the attachment to that person grows also, turning it into a feeling of love...

The statement is simply true. I speak from experience. Talk to my wife and she will tell you it's true. She used to hate me a lot. She hated how I walked, how I dressed up, and one or two more things. But that all changed when we started to spend more time together, whether in the company of other friends or just the two of us. Perhaps, it's not actually hate. We just say it's hate because the feeling is that you don't like the way the other person is doing something and you want to change it. And since you can't change it, you think it is hate. And when someone catches your eye and you get attracted for one reason or another, you want that other person to be perfect, but perfect according to your norms. And when you cannot convert that person to the perfect one you want, then you say you hate that person. But deep inside you, you don't because you are already attracted to that person. And when you get to know the person more deeply, then you realize that what you wanted to change is not important anymore and the "hate" you felt is slowly being converted to real feelings of love.

Yeah, really? How does that work again? I am not sure how hating someone makes you love them some more. That doesn't happen to me that way at all.

The more you hate, the darker your life. One can only love as much as they love themselves. If you love yourself, there is no reason to ever hate anything. There is no advantage or gain of any kind when in a state of hate. That type of relationship is completely false. It is an illusion. If you want love, you must become love. When you become love, there is no room for hate and no use for it. What purpose does hate serve? NONE.

I have heard people that have absolutely hated someone then years later fell in love and got married. They say love is blind and I think it's true LOL

i also heard of such cases. they hated the person before falling inlove with them. i think it does happen. i think it all depends on the person. doesn't happen to all anyway.

You can love someone for who they are, and hate them for the choices that they make. Don't you agree?

Maybe yes, maybe no. I think it depends on the person itself or the two persons involve. But most of the people I've known they end up with the person they hate. For example in the first place they both hate each other and then later on when the two of them starting avoiding each other then they will realized that they miss each other, miss their quarrels, arguments and all. And in the end they will start to know each other and be friends with one another. In my case I haven't experience that kind of situation.
