idk if i have a ton of insight but my perspective is basically that your “functional attraction” model was accurate for these relationships, in the sense that they weren’t oriented around any interpersonal factors, but rather the role they were filling
i can’t speak to your past (maybe you needed some unsavory roles at the time), but i definitely feel that those functions wouldn’t benefit you any longer
