Sex and the City: Carrie Confronts Mr. Big | HBO Replay

“it was on my way home” girl TAKE THE OTHER STREET 😭

Ladies, when your ex is getting married, resist the urge to be whimsically dramatic and show him how untameable you are. Don't put on something semi-bridal, do your hair and stalk him outside his engagement party with that look. Just don't do stuff like this. This is how you reveal yourself to be a crazy person.

[amormio]

Carrie: I need to run free and be wild.

Also Carrie: I will never stop trying to get Big to settle down with me.

[MissBubblesNOLA]

This should have been how their relationship ended.

[josefinebliss]

This here says it all. I think that Big really liked Carrie all along but she was too difficult. Carrie is the type of woman she'll never be satisfied, and Natasha she's more independant so she won't act needy with him. It's pretty simple. Then he got bored because deep down he craves drama too because he's not as stable of a person as he thinks he is. Needless to say Carrie and Big are a perfect match, but for all the wrong reasons. Really they both needed therapy instead of chasing relationships.

[DarlingEbony]

This should have been the end. However, think of all of the times after this that he disrespected her, including leaving her high and dry on their wedding day. I always wanted her with Aidan because he was healthier and nicer. I think Hollywood does women a disservice by always pushing these "struggle love", "against all odds" romances that never work like this in real life. We are programmed to accept dysfunction from men.

[Mrs.Currie]

Very rude and hurtful of him to leave his fiance waiting in the car while he chats with his ex, and very rude of Carrie to seek out a chat with her ex when she knew his fiance was waiting in the car. At their engagement party. It probably ruined her day.

[jasresearch]

It is sheer desperation. If a man does not want you - LET GO. Let him go. And do not turn up to his engagement party.

[sparkynutters]

“I had no intention of going in but it was on my way naah I think you just wanted your daily drama fix 😅

[ND-nxnt]

It's giving "pick me, choose me, love me"

[costaa]

Interesting how she has a white dress on, kinda bridal looking. But at this point this should've been the end for these two

[lisal]

If my man talked and was touched by a woman like that right after our engagement, the relationship would've over then and there🤣

[zazilicious]

I must say that she looks stunning in that scene like wow 🤩🔥💯

[cazzalyric]

Can you imagine this happening to you on your engagement? She couldn't just let Natasha have her day...Who does that? They're both as bad as each other🙄

[piatmal]

THIS is an example of what a woman should NEVER do...

[kantik]

Such an awful moment for a woman: how Can you chase a man like this?
You didn't choose me, ok! I would've change city or even planet and completely erase your name from my memories ! Who do you think you are ?
Ladies, have self respect and always choose yourself over a man's attention.

[nschone]

Great writing on the show... all of her epiphanies about love were self centered, jealous, comparative, insecure. She tried hard to believe her own hype and to be strong. But really she was just a little girl and hoping this guy would love her back the same way. She became consumed with it because he didn't. Just like a real person in real life.

[floatingsara]

"He's just not THAT into you" ❤

[mimim]

The more I watch this show the more I realize how toxic Big and Carrie’s relationship was.

[redify]

Well that was embarrassing… never let a man tell you 2x he doesn’t want you
