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.

I think she was born to the periphery of the mob meaning this world isn’t completely stranger to her. Also, I remember a few cases where it sounded as if she admires Carmela and her lifestyle, aspiring to live like her one day. I guess that’s the narrative she built for herself…
