Have you ever felt that way?
You love a person with all your heart, but you don’t like them?
It doesn’t have to be thinking of just romantic love, it can be a sensation that is felt across the board.
You know, when you love your parents, but when they deny you the pleasure of going out somewhere, or buying you some much coveted trainers, when you where younger, you soooo don’t like them! It’s teen angst, we are all allowed that feeling!
Or your siblings. God knows I love my brother, but there were times as youngsters, when I really didn’t like him, and I am pretty sure he didn’t like me! Those times when he got what I wanted, or got me into trouble with the parents for something, then sat there sniggering…. Ooooh I really didn’t like him then! That is a siblings prerogative, though, and more often than not, you get older and realise what they actually mean to you.
And within your romantic relationships, you can love someone, not want to live without them, but there are things they do, or maybe something happens and you really don’t like them for what they did. It may be their behaviour towards someone else, or a really bad habit. Love is strange, as you learn to accept certain things, maybe not for the right reasons, but because you love that person.
And why stop there…
What about your chidren?
I love my kids with all my heart, but sometimes when they do things I really don’t like them! It’s like when Lil Princess whines, or I hear that she may be being a little madam with some of her friends… I will never stop loving her, but I definitely don’t like her then. Does that make me a bad parent?
What do you think?
