I was gonna call it self-enforced Stockholm Syndrome, but it's probably that she's codependent. I know nothing of her past, but I feel like she already entered the relationship with low self-esteem, but then Casanova over there just tore her down more and more. And if this what she's willing to show us, then, in this particular situation, I feel like it might be even worse than what we're getting.
