What a fun question! While I can't say it's the healthiest of relationships. I have to admit that I've always been enthralled by Pip and Estella in Great Expectations.
She's positively horrid to him and yet poor Pip can't stay away from her. This is one of those "crazy, madly in love, going out of my mind without you" kind of love story. Thanks to Dickens' immense talent we feel Pip's frustration and pain over his pursuit of this bad girl.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that at some point we've probably all gone a little off the deep end in pursuit of love so we can identify with Pip's desperation. I'm thinking this might just be the perfect read in time for Valentine's Day.
