I love him but I don't always like him

Have you ever been in a situation where there is someone you absolutely adore but at times you don't like him or her very much? I am sure if we search our hearts we will find that there is at least one person - a spouse, a child, your mother or father, a good friend with that one trait or behavior that drives you nuts. You love my significant other dearly, no questions, but there are the occasional times when you don't like him/her very much. Luckily it doesn't last very long and love happens to be the stronger emotion. Can you relate?

Absolutely ! I feel that there is no perfect relationship ever ! You feel on top of the world at some point of time and you want to be away and be on your own at times, does not mean that you hate the person but it is natural for us to react to certain situations of behavioral patterns ...I am sure others too feel the same way about us !

@Freelanzer So there is no need to feel bad about it since it is natural I guess for us to have these dual feelings

I was thinking the same thing and wonder what the other person thinks of me when I act up

Emotions cannot be trusted because they change most of the time depending on our moods and the situations we are into

emotions are indeed fleeting and it is good that we recognize them as such

Yes this is one of my current issues. I didn't think it happened to other people too. Maybe we should finally have that talk and see where it goes.

@Freelanzer I dunno, hopefully it does change things. Or maybe I'll just continue being quiet.

Even when you have had the talk a hundred times, it never seems to change much

this is normal to happen. even if you love him a lot there might be moments when you don't like his behavior or whatever. we're different and such things happen. he can't be perfect and act always like he's expected

We just have to think about the good side of the person and accept the not so good part as part of the whole person we love

Always when I was raising my kids and they were bad. I would tell them that I loved them but not what they just did.

That is a good way to put it, it is the behavior not the person even though the behavior sometimes makes the person

I guess we all have those moments when we would like to change something about the other person and perhaps they also feel the same way

I guess that's the mystery about loving someone. You learn to accept what you dislike about him.

That is how it is. No one is perfect.

We all have our little quirks which makes us who we are.

This is situation is very familiar to me. I love my wife, but I dont like her for many things. I prefer to keep the distance and that keeps the love very fresh. I like it that way, but my wife does not understand that. I know we will get into small misunderstandings when we get close, which turn into short term dislikes. I think this is very natural with most of us in a relationship or it is the way we react or behave.

The moment that you feel you don't like him/her is the time you are seeing the not so good about him/her. But remember how many time you see him/her makes you heart smile. Nobody is perfect and we should embrace it.

The good times usually outweigh the bad and we all need to not take it too seriously

I can think of a few. Some are family and some aren't.
