Generally yes--how can you feel love with contempt? /When one person looks down on another with contempt--they do not see or believe in the good of the other person.
We would need more information. I wouldn't say doomed...the contempt can be removed. The relationship needs help and work, maybe counseling if it's longterm. There really isn't much that two people who want to stay together can not work through. But there usually needs to be some give and take on both sides...in other words BOTH sides need to want the relationship enough to work at it.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. Contempt can be overcome, with work and only if truly wanted by both.
All depends on whether you are both willing to put in the effort to change whatever is causing the strife. Any relationship without give and take is probably doomed.
For me it's impossible to be happy when I'm feeling contempt in a relationship. It's something that needs to be worked through/resolved, for me personally.
