I thought that the £50 garlic crusher line was pretty distasteful tbh, when we’re in a cost of living crisis and people are struggling to pay their bills. I know these characters have always had unattainable lives but there was a point when Carrie had £700 in her savings account because she had wasted all her money on shoes. Now she’s just an incredibly rich widow who pisses away her time having bra-on sex with her ex around Manhattan. Bleh.

Don’t forget the $26 breakfast omelette for room service! 🤣
 
Not wanting to cause a row but complaining about how people spend their money even in a fictional show you can’t call unrelatable just because it’s not relatable to you doesn’t mean it isn’t relatable to someone else, we all earn different amounts one person could earn 30k a year one 300k a year so what’s relatable to us all is going to be so different. I really don’t think we should take it all that seriously. I really don’t care how much people spend on their household objects on a tv show.

anyway before I get attacked

Carrie and aiden forever

that will probably get ne attacked even more but I’ll die on this hill 🤣🤣

I want to hear your take on how Carrie and Aidan work as a couple. Genuinely interested. I’m choosing to ignore the first part of your comment 😉
 
I don't like Aiden - he's a boring sanctimonious prick and he seems controlling.

I don't like Carrie. She's a user who chews people up and spits them out when something better comes along but she'll gaslight them because she's tiny quirky flighty Carrie and it wasn't her fault so you have to forgive her you have to forgive her you HAVE TO FORGIVE HER- Carrie bot has malfunctioned.

A new man would have shown personal growth for her, but with Aiden it's a dull, chemistry lacking, back to square one kinda thing where we'll watch them destroy each other all over again only this time she gets to wreck his kids, ex wife and chickens. What did the damn chickens do to deserve that?!

 
I never liked Aiden. I think he'd be a great partner to the right woman but him and Carrie were so wrong together. I know Carrie was a total drama queen in SATC when they went to stay in his cabin in the woods place but let's be honest it was pretty awful and he was trying so hard to mould her into something she's obviously not and never will be. I'd probably have screamed if a squirrel, sorry 'squirrrrlll' was inside my kitchen too!

I think there were quite a few examples of him doing that- wanting to fall asleep every Sat night with a bucket of KFC was another one (I mean that sounds like heaven to me right now but that's another story) - how could he expect Carrie to want that when she's clearly a girl about town type who basically goes out for a living so she can write about it!
 
‘Chemistry’ is such a bullshit reason for anyone to ever be together. What even is it? Decent chat? An ability to banter? Some flirting? Whatever the ambiguous and arbitrary definition of chemistry is, some really social people would appear to have to with everyone they encounter. Doesn’t make for the basis of a good relationship. What SATC always seem to miss is your long term partner should be your best friend. Long after the ‘chemistry’ is gone, if you’re in love with your bestie, all ends up ok. Carrie was never given that. Not Big, not Aiden, not the Russian.

And if chemistry was a reason to start or continue a relationship… ya don’t duck with a bra on when you’ve got mad ‘chemistry’ with someone!!
 
I want to just start by saying, I love Aidan. He’s my kinda guy, right up my street. I’ve loathed Carrie since season 4 (only disliked her up til that point), as a direct result of her abysmal treatment of the lovely man.

Season 3 Aidan was adorable. Great guy, caring, adored Carrie and was such a gentleman. Carrie was attracted to him and perhaps he made her feel safe but I couldn’t see what they had in common. She cheated on him and he told her he knew himself too well to get past that. The end. Bad Carrie, lovely, gracious Aidan.

Season 4 Aidan was sexier but he never forgave Carrie. She begged him to give her another chance but his actual life didn’t interest her. it was like she just didn’t want anyone else to have him. She detested his country house (that he self built and was proud of). I couldn’t understand why she wanted to be with someone she did not relate to on any level. She physically rejected anything he wanted for their future, vomiting at the sight of an engagement ring, taking an allergic reaction to a wedding dress, wearing the ring on a chain around her neck and having a melt down when he tried to knock down her apartment wall to expand her apartment for their future. Come on! Red flags! Walk away. They didn’t want the same things. He wanted a family of his own and a simpler life, Carrie wanted couture, parties and drama.

I don’t want to acknowledge second movie Aidan as I’ve never gotten over that character assassination.

Now we have divorcee, father of 3 Aidan who is mega rich, dresses weirdly, looks waxy, is still traumatised by the apartment saga 20+ years later yet wants to rekindle a relationship with a woman who broke his heart once then came back and smashed it into smithereens for good measure.

We’ve witnessed no relationship development from them, no conversations about anything other than the mundane really, but the writers want the viewers to believe that this relationship is working? Feels more and more like a nostalgia money grab to me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Apologies for the essay, Someone please tell me how they work? I’m not being rude or argumentative. I want to hear other opinions.
