Oh Mr.Stranger, you write a lot of truth about primitive instincts but I know so many nice guys who are confident and funny (I can take or leave outgoing personally) - my husband is one of them.
I don't know why someone would love an abusive ex either, although in my younger years I had a very brief attraction to a man who treated me badly, fortunately for me he got sick of me and I met my husband - otherwise life may have been different. In my case I totally forgot the ex once I met the man who became my husband - he was far more interesting and fun to be with so I don't relate to thinking about an ex.
In answer to the OP, my instinct tells me this could be to do with self-esteem issues, that you may be struggling with your self worth and bad treatment may confirm your poor self worth and feel 'comfortable' some how.
