So what happens in a situation where something or someone is in your life that you don't want there, does truth over-ride the love and you stay true to yourself and stay away from that thing or person, or does love over-ride and you find a way to love this thing or person and put up with it inside?

I cannot 'tell' you the truth. You will have to find it for yourself.
It is hidden in plain sight.

'This' is the truth.
Right here and right now is true. What 'this' is cannot be spoken. Words that are spoken are laid upon what is true but the words themselves lie. The words distract you from the truth.
Words veil the truth.

So, the truth as you see it is external to the human condition?
I have practiced Zen meditation in the past, the goal being, as I saw it, to still the mind. That being said, it is a common view amongst Zen Buddhists that when the mind is quiet the truth can be seen or known, some call this enlightenment. Is this what you are talking about?

Humans are just blinded by words. Words appear presently just as all that is arising, it is arising in presence. When the words are given importance they become monsters that control the spirit.

If you think it is a good idea to tell every person or group or country that you hate them then you will get hurt.
If you live in a world where you have separated yourself out as the judge of others then you will suffer.

It is only peaceful when you can accept whatever presents itself, even the thought that you don't like something.

Someone once told me:
Love without honesty is brutal
Honesty without love is fatal.
It may take a second, but it does make sense.
