I don't know if I really comprehend what you were getting at with this post. So perhaps my reply will be off-base. But here are links to 5 articles, from Psych Central's archives, on the subject of why we keep returning to the same types of relationships as well as on the concept of repetition compulsion. Perhaps they may be of some interest:

Why Do We Repeat the Same Dysfunctional Relationship Patterns Over and Over?

How to Stop Going Back to an Abusive Relationship

Why So Many of Us Get Stuck in Toxic Relationships

Repetition Compulsion: Why Do We Repeat the Past?

Radiohead and repetition compulsion
