fight like cats and dogs. Another day they sing together like lovebirds.
You can also have a love-hate relationship with something besides another person. If you love some parts about your work5 but hate other parts of it, you can say you have a love-hate relationship with your job.
Another expression that relates to opposing feelings is, “There is a fine line between love and hate.” A person can very easily go from loving to hating.
Star-crossed lovers are very different from those in a love-hate relationship. These types of lovers want to be together, but everything seems to keep them apart—even the stars. This expression comes from the belief of some cultures that the stars control our futures.
Probably the most famous star-crossed lovers are William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Star-crossed lovers never seem to get together. So they are rarely on the rebound. A re-bound relationship is the first relationship someone has after he or she has ended a serious, long-term relationship.
People on the rebound are easily hurt. So they often make bad decisions in choosing a new love interest. Instead of getting involved with someone else right away, someone on the re-bound probably needs some time alone, as well as distance from their former husband or wife—long distance.
