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.
commonality cannot exist in a situation where the factor you are claiming is “common” is only done by the minority of people its applied to. For example, I cannot say its common for me to cry if I am only crying 20% of my life. Saying a absent partner experience during pregnancy is “common” is not correct. While it is terrible that it happens, and it shouldn’t happen at all, claiming its a common experience is inflating the issue and turns it into a completely different conversation then the one we should be having.

This. Everyone sees themselves as the standard, the "normal". Even if they are far, far away from "normal".
