Love-hate relationship
A love-hate relationship is a personal relationship between humans, or figuratively between a human and an inanimate object, like a computer, involving simultanuously or alternatingly emotions of love and enmity.
This relationship may, or may not be of a romantic nature.
The term comes from the way one may love the object/person one moment, and yet the next moment feel great rage or hatred for it. For example a computer may impress a user with amazing video game graphics one moment, yet the next moment it crashes at a key point during the game.
It often occurs when people have completely lost the intimacy within a loving relationship, yet still retain some passion for, or perhaps some commitment to, each other.
An addiction is also a kind of love-hate relationship.
