what's the psychological machinery here?

My threads keep getting moved, so I'm not sure where to post what, but anyway, let Paul have the fun of sorting them...



I'm wondering about the following condition. I'm sure a lot of people have experienced this.

There's a person who's totally wrong for you. They don't care about you, even though they like you; they pay less attention to you than to others; they string you along. You know the situation is terrible, but at the same time you simply cannot get away from them. And the more proof you get that this simply WILL NOT work out, the more obsessed you get with this person.

Am I wrong to think lots of people have experienced this??
Doesn't it sound masochistic? Is it that feeling of being obsessed with the impossible that attracts people? Or the frustration? Wth is it?

Any insights?
