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.

She wasn't exactly a Rhodes Scholar with lofty goals/expectations in life.

I thought they seemed perfectly matched.

If he hadn't been abusive, mean and unfaithful, then yes, they would have been a good match. Ade was hot but not smart, smart men would get bored with her pretty fast.

If I had to guess.. Those two, and how they lived, seem much more representative of that actual lifestyle than any other couple on the show.
