If this show has ever shown Sadie and Lars being romantic to each other I'd like to know when. Having reviewed the episodes that focus on Sadie and Lars there hasn't been anything that can be construed as loving behavior between them.

This show doesn't just tell us that two people love each other. It shows us they love each other and in rich detail. We've seen Steven and Connie, Steven and Greg, Connie and Priyanka, Ruby and Sapphire, Greg and Rose all behave in ways that leave no doubt that those couples care deeply for each other. It would be unimaginable that any of these people would ever think of doing deliberate harm to one another. The two big episodes focusing on the relationship between Lars and Sadie are "Joking Victim" and "Island Adventure" and both episodes show Sadie being a source of pain and danger to Lars. If Steven were angry at Connie would he tamper with her food to cause her pain just to get back at her? Would any of these couples consider beating one another out of anger or frustration?

With all these other couples and whatever loving relationships are in this show that I didn't list, we see their love in action. We see their support, caring, attention, affection, etc. on full display. From small gestures like a touch to the shoulder or a gentle nuzzle to grand gestures like standing your ground and fighting to the death to protect that person. Lars and Sadie have done none of this. Instead we have Lars repeatedly and openly stating that he has no relationship with Sadie and does not want one. Even if he does harbor love for Sadie that act alone disqualifies him as a partner for her as it is a public display of total disrespect for Sadie and her feelings.

All these fine points aside the fact remains that Sadie hits Lars when she is angry at him. That is a complete violation of Lars, his boundaries and his physical and emotional well being. That is abuse anyway you slice it. No one has the right to inflict pain and injury on another's body or mind. Don't believe me? Check any website on domestic abuse and see what it says about physical and emotional violence.
