Ftr, I don't think you are stupid. I think the dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin released in your brain when you are in his presence are clouding your rational thoughts.
Amount of dopamine and serotonin and oxytocin released are directly correlated with how wrong the guy is as a partner. Cant stay away, love of my life, madly in love, intense chemistry, can’t move on from him was exactly the same Hope felt for abusive homeless addict man, then some other inappropriate man after and likely other men before that.

It seems more abusive and wrong they are, more intense is the lust and infatuation

And it’s not abnormal to feel this way. Our bodies respond to familiar. Unfortunately what’s familiar here is constant drama, abuse, struggle, all kind unhealthy things. But these emotions and these attractions aren’t signs of a healthy relationships or signs that you must continue going for these kind of men.
