Many of the reasons for getting into a bad relationship are signs of love addiction. This is a real thing and it could be the main reason you continue to find yourself in bad relationships. Here is the definition of a Love Addict:

The love addict obsessively and compulsively tries to relieve or medicate the deep pain in their life through romantic relationships. Once in a relationship, the love addict feels they can’t live without the other person and will do whatever they have to do to keep the relationship going. If that doesn’t work, they panic and will do whatever they have to do to get into a new relationship.

For a love addict being in a relationship becomes more important than anything else. Meaning they will grab onto the first hope of a relationship regardless of whether the person is good for them. Then, like a drug addict, they will obsess over the relationship, spending all their time thinking about how to keep the “high” of the relationship going.
