"I Love you, but I don't really like you right now!"

There are definitely times when I feel like this. I love my boyfriend to no end, but there are times when he makes it hard for me to like him at the moment like when he says something that could be hurtful or I don't talk to him for days. I mean no matter what he will get on my nerves, but it all comes down to I love him with everything in me.

i find it very strange, i dont think it can right in any situation....it may happen that a person can say that 'i love you but i can't be with you right now or we can't be together any longer'...but this statement is not right...i can't believe if some one says that to me, love is something more than liking and if someone loves the other than he can't say that i dont like u right now...true love is forever and ever and ever...

The first time I ever heard that sayingwas when a friend of one of my daughters had driven her Mother to the breaking point, but this Mother was a somewhat selfish person. She told her daughter "You are my daughter and by that virtue I have to love you, but I really don't like you and I haven't for a long time." Then she told the daughter to get out and not let the door hit her in the butt on the way out because she was no longer welcome in her home. There have been times I have felt a little bit that way with my kids but never to the point that this woman did.

Oh sure. It happens in many relationships. You can love someone. And not be happy with something they did. Or maybe something they said. Humans are complex.

I think that it is very possible. My husband and I joke all the time that we have a love hate relationship. There are times when we loved eachother and there are times that we just can't stand to be with eachother. I think that it all comes down to wether or not you can work things out that it really matters. I still love my husband more than anything in the world and I know that he feels this way too. I would never think that just because we are fighting that we don't love each other any more.

I think you can. I love my husband dearly, But sometimes I want him to shut up and leave me alone. He irritates me sometimes but I love him. I later think about why I love him. That helps me cope.

OMG! I love my husband but sometimes I do not like him and I really mean sometimes I do not like him at all. He sometimes just makes me mad that I feel like I do not like him, But it is weird because I am in lve with him. I will go days not liking him but will be looking at him thinking he is a sexy beast and at the same time not wanting him to even speak to me....lol

Oh yes you can love someone to pieces but if they do things that are not right or you disagree with you can dislike them for it. When my children are really naughty, and I mean really naughty and not just normal child naughty I have said this to them. My eldest who is 17 now went through a stage of stealing money, at the time we had hardly any money and I had a tin where occasionally I would stick change and the idea was that this money would be used for small treats and he stole most of it. It was a bad time and we tried everything to stop him and this was one of the times where I turned around to him and told him that I loved him but I did not like him and what he was becoming. But you know not long after that he stopped stealing and now he is a lovely young man, well he still has occasional times he is a horror!!

The emotions of love and like are very different. I heard that phrase many times growing up, and have said it a few times now that I am a parent myslef. I've thought it within other relationships as well. Love goes much deeper than like. Like just refers to aesthetic qualities of the other person, whereas love is more of spiritual connection with that person.

My BF has told me this one or two times and I feel he loves me very much but I am sure there are times when he dose not like me and well thats ok cause sometimes I do not like him either but I always love him very much!

Love is much deeper than like. Like depends on the actions. In other words, you can love (care for) someone but not like their actions.

Love is like a magnetic connection between two beings. To "like" someone is separate from "loving" them, though they should be directly related. I know occasionally I get mad at my girlfriend, but just because I am mad (..dislike, I guess, temporarily) I still love her because that is what love is. There are different levels. In the case such as mine once in a while, it is no big deal and love endures because our arguments are usually stupid. I dont think anyone could ever "dislike" someone for a long period of time and still love them, though. You need to examine the actions of both people involved as well. Love should be defined by the actions (it is a verb! haha) of the people claiming to have that bond. No one is perfect and can not be expected to live up to unreal, perfect expectations; though. I think you would be able to tell when it is just a short term dislike amidst love, and a long term dislike discarding love.

It can happen to most of us sometimes when the other person does some action without thinking about our present predicament.But being our loved ones it is better we tell them tactfully as they are the people we really care about.

Well I know from my past relationship that usually the reasoning of the "I don't really like you right now!" part is because they care sooooo much about you that every little thing will mean a lot. In other words, when it comes to this quote--you can't have one without the other. To me, it's saying, "Because I love you so much, I don't really like you right now." Which may seem like a contradiction, but it makes sense in my brain haha. Let me know if I'm just going crazy though.

Ya, if that's an expression of anger, than might hold true, but if its just used to get away from someone, its all a lie. You can be angry with your loved ones and might not feel to love them at the moment but that doesn't mean that you love them. Well there's no reason t not to like anyone when you love them, cause when there's love, every other flaw seems small. Anger is just a way to help your loved one change bad habits, but that doesn't mean you would hate them with those habits, cause if you hate them now, you won't be able to love them in future either. I think I have messed up the response a bit, but hope you understand what am trying to say. Take Care God Bless YOU

yeah sometimes. It is hard to say tho, I love my husband but sometimes I hate him on what he has done. However, if you love someone; I mean LOVE as husband and wife then you have to use these two words: Forget and Forgive. I love him from my heart but I still have some points that I hate about him.

hi there, Oh! i most definitely agree that quote is valid for the reason I have said almost the exact same thing to my brother a couple of years ago. I was very angry with him and the way he was talking to me at that particular moment. He had been drinking and wasn't saying very nice things to me at that time, so how could you possibly like someone you love when they are behaving like this? ~proudnana~

Absolutely! I think the 'I love you' part is the long term relationship bit but the 'i don't really like you right now' bit can refer to a particular mood you're in or responding to a situation which has happened. Everyone (even the people we love most in the world) can sometimes get on our nerves or upset us. PS - can you remember which movie this was in? Its on the tip of my tongue but I can't remember! Will spend all day trying to think!!!
