You are not Carrie Bradshaw.
Big and Carrie are not a great love story for our time. They are terrible role models who made millions of women (or maybe just you) believe that if they just waited it out, kept being available and kept ruining perfectly good relationships that could have made them very happy, that eventually, a self involved and unavailable assh**e would come around and realize that you were the best thing that ever happened to him. Self, that is not going to happen.
HAHAH, I really liked this article, click here for the rest of the article.
Reading this article made me laugh, cos I could have written this article myself! When I was dating _____, it was at the peak of my SATC obsession and it was impossible for me not to link our rocky ‘relationshit’ with Carrie & Big’s onscreen relationship.
It was a perfect match me & Carrie, girl smitten over this asshole guy who always put her in 2nd place, to everything. And just as I reached our threshold of disappointment and hurt, said asshole does some small, non-douche move, which looks like a grand gesture compared to his recent actions. My FedUp meter would restart, and we would be good for a few weeks before things got rocky again. Rinse & repeat. He really did care about me, he’s just awful at showing it. A commitment-phobe, and I thought I would be the girl to change his ways. Wrong.
To top it all off, I DID meet an Aidan, who was perfect in every aspect (theoretically, guess we’ll never know!), and adored me so. Too bad I was too emotionally damaged then to realize it and pushed him away. Bad move, but how was I supposed to know? In the end Carrie ends up with Big anyway, does that mean I was going to end up with _____? Since everything matched up so well, why not?
Needless to say, we didn’t last. After a 2 year run, we were done. Really done. At least it didn’t drag out to what, 10 years? But hey, at least Carrie Bradshaw got a sweet-ass walk in closet in the end.
