Cultural Note
Odiar is a very strong word in Spanish, though it's also used hyperbolically in everyday speech ('odio levantarme temprano'). In relationships, the 'te odio/te amo' dynamic is a recognized emotional pattern. Using 'odiar' seriously in a romantic context carries significant weight and signals deep hurt.
