This is one of my favorite words:
dichotomous
My son wrote an essay for college called "My Dichotomous Dad" about how his dad is a mass of contradictions. It was hilarious!
Dichotomous: divided or dividing into two sharply distinguished parts or classifications

The "f" word can serve this purpose, depending on how you use it.
Perhaps the word bittersweet?
