My perspective on the love/hate thing is that I get easily disappointed by the things that people I love do. I guess when I love someone, I develop certain expectations (I know that's wrong, for some reason that gets programmed into my mind as part of my strong feelings for someone). I've been doing a lot of introspection lately to isolate these "exepctations" because it's not fair for me to get so easily disappointed when ppl don't meet my high standards of their actions.
I have specific issues in mind that I don't have the time to get into detail; I'm not a love nazi or anything (lol) I'm only referring to people's intentions when you're in a serious relationship. So, when I find that those intentions aren't demonstrating love back to me, I get that feeling of hate. I truly hate it when the person I love ignores me without cause. But that feeling of hate (I guess a part of my personality is that I swing back and forth very easily from happiness to disappointment) makes me love sick...cuz I miss the person.
I know I probably don't make any sense but I guess my point is that to me, it's important to feel both sides of the spectrum with someone (the strong love I can give, and the bitter hate from disappointment) in order to assess that I will be with this person forever. I don't think j was speaking about family; that's unconditional love as you're stuck with those ppl (lol don't mean that in a bad way; I love my sissies) for the rest of your life. But for a partner, you'd have to know how you feel through the good times AND the bad to be sure that he/she's a keeper.
