Yup, if they married and had a child with a man like this, you can't really expect the people they surround themselves with to be vastly different. So they'd think it's normal to be like this.

The self-formed bubble is such a common perception-distorting issue. It's the same with "Why aren't there any good guys, all the guys I date are assholes." or "Why aren't there any good women? All the women I date just want my money.".

Well, if you keep dating a specific type of person, you will end up dating that specifict type of person.

On another note, do you think there is any credibility to choosing people subconsciously based on who your first was?

I'd answer that myself but um well I haven't done the dance without pants and honestly im not sure if really want to try anyway.

Ah haha i never would have thought about it that way. But Now that I know:

"Stares into the aether"(narrate with darth mauls voice) And what do I do with this knowledge now that i aware? "Starts pacing around the room" Do I use it as a horrible pick up line to whoo in a potential mate? No? No!! That would just get me banned. Perhaps I should use at a party to break the ice as im the thatonguythefirst and thus im am everybody's first, aagggh NOOO!!! That would leave me open to ridicule. No perhaps it's best i bury this knowledge to prevent potential catastrophe upon my... "drawls" reputation. Hmmm yes that seems best, if my friend(or kenobi) was to ever find out I would never live it down. And to make sure that it never sees the light of day. "Looks at the screen" I must silence this foundcashdoubt one way or another. "Grab horrible cloak and fedora like a redditor and leaves"

sorry, I let the intrusive thought win again
