Darlene	Posted Oct 13th, 2008 at 9:48AM As soon as I read your question, I though co-dependency. When two people feed off each other but not for a good cause. One can be like a parasite using the other and the one being used not getting any benefit, only misery. Or it could be a symbiotic relationship, where you are both getting something of mutual benefit, but in the case of co-dependency you both get something but it is not good. You need to break the cycle and get out. Rated: +2Vote for this!

Dimples87	Posted Feb 5th, 2009 at 5:58PM The only word that comes to mind is "frienemies" - if you watch "Gossip Girl" you'll understand this phrase. It's like no matter what somebody has done or said to or about you, you still want to be friends with them. However, at the same time there you want to be enemies with them because of their actions but somehow, you can't. I've never been in this situation before, though, I'd always get rid of someone like I just described. Rated: +1Vote for this!

DarkSideofMe	Posted Aug 31st, 2008 at 11:46AM Yes, it's called disillusioned! It's a bit like an obsession; you feel overwhelmed with feelings for a person, but they aren't really for that person. It could be for any person in general. You want someone in your life, so you project those feelings onto the person in front of you, because at that moment, they are all you have. My advice - let them go and find the real person that deserves the feelings you project. Rated: +1Vote for this!
Zaipher	Posted Feb 5th, 2009 at 5:58PM "Ambivalent." It's being conflicted between two courses of action. In this case, whether to like the person or not. Rated: +1Vote for this!
shattergirl	Posted Aug 31st, 2008 at 11:47AM Do we need a word? I've also experienced loving someone and not being able to stand them...its strange and tiresome. Rated: +1Vote for this!
