What I understand from dictionaries is that there are somehow complicated
feelings involved (Daijirin: 感情などが、複雑に絡み合って、すっきりしないさま。), but I still don't
quite understand what kind of relationship would be called どろどろ. Do you have a
concrete example for me?

question
words usage
What exactly makes a relationship どろどろ?
ドロドロ is normally translated as muddy, dirty, or a substance of a thick
consistency.

> 手がドロドロになっちゃった。 ＝ 手が汚れちゃった。  
>  チョコレートが溶けてドロドロになった。

ドロドロ is to express a relationship outside marriage.

> ドロドロした男女関係 ＝ ドロ沼の不倫。

ドロドロした人間関係 ＝ backbiting, malicious gossip, envy, jealousy etc...

> 女だらけの職場のドロドロした人間関係に疲れました。

Hope this helps and made things clearer.
