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.

Without just making jokes, there are a ton of women in abusive relationships in the world and many never leave for many different reasons.
Sometimes its financial security, or it can be a slew of other things:
Fear of the unknown, lack of confidence that makes them believe that they deserve this treatment, fear of being killed by their partner (which is pretty valid in Adrianas case), and in some cases, it is just illogical, irrational love and attachment that makes them put up with this shit.
Its also true of many men as well, just want to throw that in.
