They are only reasons to hate if you make them that way.

5 Reasons You Love And Hate Your Significant Other
Caitlin Borrman

In a relationship, you can find a million things that you love about one another and one thing you absolutely can't stand. For some, it's easy to find things you love but then hate later on. Having a love/hate relationship with your significant other is normal.

1. They're Clingy.

It's easy to say that this is the most annoying quality about people. It's that feeling where they just will not leave you alone, especially when you need it the most.

Yet this quality is still lovable when you think about what it means. If they are clingy, it means they care and just want to be a part of everything you do.

2. They're Protective.

Sometimes it seems like they are harsh when discussing people you don't approve of or things you are doing.

They are just protecting you like a father would. They are just looking out for you and your best interest.

3. They Constantly Have Something To Say About Your Driving.

I'll admit it, this one is totally me. I know in the back of my head that I'm being such a mom and extremely annoying.

Honestly, I'm just worried about our safety and that's all that matters.

4. They Don't Talk To You.

For instance, it's after a fight or disagreement that they didn't approve of and now your significant other won't talk to you. This seems horrible, because you are supposed to be a team, not playing on opposing ones. Openness is key.

I am a culprit of this one. The reason I do it is because when I'm upset, I'm more likely to say something I don't mean. So instead of saying everything that is on my mind at that exact time, I like to take a step back and filter through what should be said and what shouldn't.

5. You're Family Loves Them More Than You.

Sure, this can be SUPER annoying. Like, "hey, I was here first".

Just know, it may seem like they love them more, but you are not replaceable. They are showing your significant other that they care about them too and that they are always welcome.


It's rough to think about how the bad side of these can destroy relationships, but you should always look at everything that bothers you from a different standpoint before making assumptions. All of these love/hate reasons are typically loving in some way.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
