One of the few times I saw this trope used effectively was in "How To Tame Your Dragon" with the reoccurring "That's for… and that's for everything else" scenes (c.f. https://youtu.be/kMZJ8o8q9c8).

I can see things flipping- I mean it happens in the other direction: you love a person intensely and then you can start hating them very quickly, and then you can start loving them again too...I don't know if it really ever works in this direction first though? How can hate turn to lust or even love? I've no experience with that. There have been people who I did not like at all or I felt weird about but ended up being good friends with, that's the closest I can get I'm afraid XD

I think we always keep some personal distance from others, but in a couple this distance is close to zero. The "first they argue, then they love each other" IMHO is a representation of this crossing of boundaries, however often in fiction it is done in a way that if happened in reality would be 100% abuse, because it is esagerate.
