Bastard Boyfriend has been rehauled into Fetishized Abuser (for then the narrative portrays an abuser as sexually desirable). Otherwise, it's an example of Domestic Abuser. If both people display toxic behaviors, it's Romanticized Abuse. If the romantic partner is an unpleasant person but not outright abusive, then they are just a Jerk Ass.
