English term or phrase: hooked up with a partner
Can you help with translating the phrasal verb 'hooked up' in the following context:

Or someone you care about is hooked up with a partner who worries you.

To translate it as 'sale con' doesn't quite translate the idea since a relationship with a sociopath is attachment of the worst kind. I'ts like entrapment.

O también "enganchado en una relación".

Sugerencias:
-"... una persona importante para usted está enganchada con una pareja que le preocupa."

- "...una persona que a usted le importa está enganchada en una relación preocupante."
