I think that some of us want to see the best in people. We care for their potential as human beings. And maybe we see the good things they do and use that to compensate for the bad. Even if someone's a jerk 29 days a month, they can compensate by being great on the 30th. And that's what gets people into bad situations, and even abuse, because humans are willing to put up with a lot just to be right about someone.
