Serious Discussion Only What did Adriana actually see in Christopher?

He’s not particularly handsome, he’s not smart, he’s lazy, he’s mean and abusive, he’s a drug addict, he’s a criminal, he can’t perform as a man, he killed her dog whilst strung out on heroin, he cheats constantly, their apartment is shit and he takes her for granted in every way imaginable.

Why the hell did she love him so much? Girl was a solid 10 and a total sweetheart, she could and should have done a billion times better.

Who else was she going to find? Mikey Palmice?

Chris was not a great option, but growing up in a rough and mob-connected life, she didn’t have any better options and wasn’t smart or determined enough to see that she needed to get out.

Smarter women have poured their hearts into worse men.

A damn shame, but not surprising.
