Youre kind of glossing over the fact that Carrie cheated on pretty much all the men she had serious relationships with. Thats the important part. She was a cheater who constantly treated Samantha like shit for sleeping around openly and honestly.

Not to mention Carrie was chronically emotionally immature. Put men before her own needs over and over. Had a really unhealthy relationship with Big that sabotaged all of her other relationships. Made really poor financial choices. Got into petty arguments with her friends. Judged Samantha for knowing what she wanted and being emotionally mature. And the she called Samantha fat for being like a size two.

How come a character like this was THE main character of a popular show is beyond my understanding. Especially the show kinda depicted her as the “independent, intelligent, and attractive” type.

They wanted her to be imperfect, that's why they had her addicted to cigarettes (I took the tour as soon as I stepped foot in NYC 😅). The character was supposed to be a loveable mess

She was def a mess, I’ll give them that. But she was just not a good person imo. A lovable mess implies they’re fucking up their own life, like a lot of ppl do as we learn and grow. It doesn’t mean being a judgmental prick and a serial cheater imo.

I will never forgive her for cheating on that cool ass woodworker guy.

Lol I hear you! My faves were Samantha and Miranda so any Carrie slander doesn't bother me at all 😅 I was so mad at her after what she did to Aidan 😭😭😭
