Hate is a desire to control someone or something.
It can exist in spite of love, trust, and honestly, or because of them. It can be motivated by fear, bravado, power, or helplessness.
Ask anyone who hates, and they'll essentially express it in terms of how they want to control whatever it is they hate. How they would control it, whether through violence or wishful thinking, is the important part.

Hate & love are opposite emotions. One can't be a "form" of the other. If love is lacking in trust & honestly, this doesn't make a transition to "hate." We simply no longer trust or believe, & the next step is another story, but it isn't hate.
The rather foolish old "love/hate relationship" represents immaturity, the inability to see that no such relationship could exist--at least, for any length of time.
Hate is a self destructive emotion, however one may seek to justify it. I have never, ever seen a connection between hate & love. (Wait a minute--only if one perceived "obsession" as a form of love/hate, but then, it could never have been, nor is it love.)
I dislike, am disappointed by, my expectations have not been met, I disapprove, disagree, but not hate.

Wile it can be true that hate is the flip-side of the coin of love, I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say that hate is love without trust and honesty. I'm not sure there is a simple, one-paragraph answer that can encompass the complexity of this question.

I think hate is a way to separate yourself form the rest of life
You forget your part in the deal, not seeing the situation for the mirror it is reflecting. Hating is a way of getting around your responsibility, and not seeing how you are the same as that you hate. Do people love to hate...I think yes. I'll bet there is some chemical addiction that could be a problem to let go of.

Yes of course! Love and hate share quite a lot, they're both emotional connections to another person... verses logical connections when you like or dislike a person.
Often, if you can't get a person to love you, it's not too bad to get them to hate you because once they feel emotional around you, it's not too hard to switch things over to an attraction like love.
It's also why if you love someone and you break up, you'll normally hate them for at least a while. It's like the other side of the coin.

I don't think so. Hate seats itself in the limbic system, close to sexual desire, so it can seem like the 2 get all mixed up. It's really not the case though. Hate can be based on fear or just plain old adversion. It has nothing to do with love, trust or honesty.

i am not sure if it really lacks the trust.when 2 people hate each other i think they are both sure that the other is not going to do them good, so that is a strong trust, somewhat perverted but trust. I think some people even spend more energy on hate than they do love.

Hate is another Form of Love gone Stray

Not at all. Whenever I have hated anyone, there was never any love involved. Given the social pressures of how to be, I can see a few reasons why such a theory might emerge.
No one wants to be a bad person and to be considered hateful.

Perhaps in some situations, definitely. But I don't know about the trust and honesty. I think it could be misdirected or misunderstood love.
