In a love-hate relationship, which emotion is more predominant?

Question

Is it hate? Or, is it love? Would such a relationship succeed given the premise that one can't live without the other?

Answer 1

for my self ....if i hate that mean no more love

Answer 2

Hate ends up winning.  Usually those relationships don't succeed.  Life is short, why be miserable?

Answer 3

both. thats tough. i could not live without my other half.

Answer 4

Love should prevail.

The relationship shall succeed when love prevails, which eventually happens.

Answer 5

I think it depends on who the couple is. I've been in a relationship where it was love&hate but the good times took over the bad. In other relationships it was the bad that took over the good. But I think love has to be predominant because why would you stay with someone you truly hate? You have to have love to be sticking around that relationship. People can live without eachother, it choosing how to deal without the other person.

Answer 6

I think LOVE is more predominant. Some people hate others because they feel that their love, whether as husband/wife, boyfriend/girlfriend, or just friends, have been betrayed or violated. If there was no love to begin with, we will never care about other people's actions.

On the other hand, hate will eventually recede because it is in the nature of man to be at peace with his surroundings, at peace with people around him. Misunderstandings are temporary, and the longed-for peace will ultimately prevail.

Answer 7

I believe you can't hate if there's no love for the person.

I never hated anyone that I have no love or fond feelings deep inside for him/her.

I never hate tsismosas and tsismosos in our barrio even if they made below the belt stories about me. I never hate them because I don't care about them and they are not worth my hatred.

Answer 8

Love and hate should go hand in hand if we are to believe theories about positivities and negativities, the YIN and the YANG. If we are to exist and really tatse the true sweetness and bitterness of life, we have to experience both. However, since you are asking which is more dominant, all I have to say is... LOVE conquers all!

Answer 9

They hate to love each other. I think it's just love so intensified, that they can't believe they love someone that much..and hate it. Some of those kind of relationships are only for a season, and other couples get married.

Answer 10

Predominance is different in every person. So their predominance measures their capacity to survive

Life, in order to survive should be in-balance. Such relationship of love/hate lacks balance which makes it lack of life. You feel more alive when giving. Only the feeling weak at life receives.

Love isn't the opposite of hate. You only hate because you care, not because you love.

Love is the status of need of a person. either you need it or not. . Unless both parties reached to the point they compliments each other's needs.There will be no peace.

Love satisfies your needs. not your mate. We only care for ourselves.

Unless you're able to satisfy your own need for love, you can't express it. (how can you give something you don't have).

Answer 11

it is a ying and yang thing. Hate has to go for it to survive.

Answer 12

Actually depends on whether the person is an optimist or not.  If an optimist, he/she looks for reasons to justify why he/she tolerates the things he/she hates in the object of affection.

Answer 13

LOVE.

--because you keep coming back.

Answer 14

love  

Answer 15

A love-hate relationship is bad for anyone's health.  The high and low of emotions involved is literally painful to the heart.   Too much to bear; it could kill a person.

Separately, I think love overpowers hate.  To illustrate, hate can only make us move the China cabinet (correction, kick 'em cabinet and break 'em plates!) while love can make us move mountains.
