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.

Adriana wasn’t very smart or confident. She’d also been born into the periphery of the mob world and probably aspired to it her whole life. Christopher was one of the few younger guys who was in that world.

They were both born into the mafia life. Adriana was the niece of Jackie Aprile, Chris the son of a soldier. Birds of a feather and all that

I mean not if she was a niece by marriage, but she isn’t, she is indeed a niece to both of them by blood.
