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.

I heard or read somewhere a long time ago that you are a sum of the 6 closest people to you.

The sum of the 6 closest people? What does that even mean? Sounds like someone trying to sound wise, but saying nothing at all.

If you choose to surround yourself with shitty people, odds are you’re not a good person either.
