STORMY-LOVE/LOVER-TYPE. Several Meanings

[Jesule]

Hello, How is it going?.

1.- "Stormy Love". Can I use the adjective "Stormy" to mean
two people love each other apparently? They are always
quarrelling, shouting at each other aggressively... I ask you´cause
maybe this kind of love is called in a different way in England.
If so, tell me. Thanks a lot!

2.- "My first love/lover". I am not sure if I should use "love or lover".

I mean "she was the first girl I loved".


3.- "She is not my type". Can I use "type" to mean "She is not
the girl I really like (Both physically and psychologically)".
If so, Should I say "type of girl/boy"?.

Sometimes I´ve heard "kind". But i don´t know if there´s
some difference. "She is not my kind of girl"


THanks in advance!

Enjoy tonight!. Saturday night!

Hello J.

1. Yes, "stormy" is fine here – it would probably be more usual to say "they have a stormy relationship".

2. "My first lover" implies a sexual relationship; "my first love" doesn't specify.

3. "She is not my type" is fine; it will be taken to mean "not my physical type" by most people. "She's not my kind of girl" is much vaguer, and would take its colour from the context.

A cheery Saturday night to you too!

Thanks a million!

And what about "Traumatic love"?
Is it more usual "it was a traumatic relationship" or would it be fine
"it was a traumatic love" or "Traumatic Love"?

Thanks for making English clearer.

Hello J.

"It was a traumatic relationship" would be more usual. If you use "love + adjective" in such contexts ("my stormy love", "a traumatic love", "a passionately physical love", etc.), it's not wrong; but it has a very emotional air, and would sound quite startling in everyday English.
