How come she’s adult enough to have a husband but not adult enough to see something so obvious?
Speaking of understanding social cues, what does it mean when a man and a woman have an intensely and weirdly emotional reaction to each other? Call Sherlock, there’s a mystery afoot.

How can she be so clueless?
Hasn’t she read any novels, watched any films or soap operas/telenovelas?

Probably grew up without a father and is re-creating the triangle of mommy-daddy-me in this perverse form.
People who grew up without getting a chance to figure out a normal, healthy place in this basic triangle of life will create endless triangles in their personal life, at work, among friends.

You aren’t an idiot. You are a normal, healthy person who doesn’t live in this way, that’s all.
