Sex and the City: Isn’t Carrie and Mr. Bigs's divorce the most predictable possible unfolding?

Although the filming of the HBO-produced 'Sex and the City' reboot has just begun, one of the most beloved series of all time does not stop filling newspaper columns, and not necessarily with the good news that the most loyal fans had hoped for.

Sex and the City: Isn’t Carrie and Mr. Bigs's divorce the most predictable possible unfolding?

Ever since information leaked that Kim Cattrall will not be joining her colleagues, the bad news (for die-hard fans) has continued to follow one after another. Back in February, the news came to light that in the continuation of the story we will not see Chris Noth or Mr. Big (it later turned out that he will reappear in the legendary role), and as if that wasn't enough for everyone who got through six seasons of the series and two films and closely followed the development and unfolding of this love story, 'Page Six' published a part of the script that leaked thanks to some paparazzi and revealed that we will watch the divorce of Carrie and Mr. Big in the reboot, which seemed inevitable due to financial money problem. 

'I recorded a podcast, I washed my hair ...', laments Carrie to Miranda, Charlotte, and Stanford in the leaked script. ‘Yes, I didn’t eat or sleep, but at least I was happy about my marriage. I'm just one of the wives he cared about now? '

Not even a month of filming is behind us, and it is already becoming impossible to avoid spoilers, so the question arises how much these new 10 episodes that follow the lives of Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte after almost a decade will really surprise fans who can't wait to see the rest of the story.

The new episodes should be something exciting for fans, giving them something fresh to look forward to, but where does it fit with so many details leaking everywhere on a daily basis? And an even more important question - isn't Carrie and Mr. Big's divorce the least original unfolding, and the least fresh and new thing the creators of the series could offer?

After we watched how, we don't even know how many times, they calm down and break up, how he leaves her in front of the altar, how after that they decide to try again and get married, how she cheats on him with her ex-fiancé Aidan ... how much can we really marvel at the outcome in which their marriage breaks down? 

Their relationship is a textbook example of what we strive for day in and day out - how neither charm nor any other trait that captivates and seduces you is important if there is no respect in the relationship. If he doesn't accept you the way you are. If you're always in the second place for him. If he treats you in any way no woman deserves. If it is a relationship in which, if it were a woman close to you, you would advise her to run away from it. 

If we take into account all the sadness over the news of the divorce of this famous fictional couple, and all the disappointment with the fact that we (once again, for the one thousand two hundredth time) turned out to be naive people who believe that there really is a woman who can change the guy of her dreams. a day in which the toxic connection will suddenly turn into a fairy tale that has existed in our imagination for some time, and because evidently, no matter how much we repeat, we do not repeat enough, so let's revise the material once again:

... although they are all distinctive, colorful, and unique in their own way, not everyone deserves to be given time and attention. There are a lot of those who would like a serious relationship, but you just don’t click with them. There are even more of those for whom the label of friendship with benefits is too much and which, if you are interested in anything more than one night stand, you can easily write off according to this criterion. The biggest problem is that most of the ones you can't eliminate just like that, but as the days and/or weeks go by it will be clear that you have no idea what you think about them and in which category you would put them. It’s that type of guy who thinks one thing, says another and does a third. What exactly they think, only they know. They usually say everything you want to hear, and they know very well what you want to hear. Diametrically opposed to what they say is their behavior in which it is impossible to find logic. Infected with an epidemic of superficial relationships, in fear of opening, meeting, and sharing intimacy with anyone, irritatingly rebellious when there is any mature relationship on the repertoire or unbearably inconspicuous in your lives to the point that they will drive you crazy by regular ghostings, non-appearances and only "seeing" your messages.

... Don’t think and believe that you are the love of his life just because he slept over and because he hugged and kissed you all night. Don’t think he’s crazy about you just because he made love to you 5 times in one night. Don’t believe that he is sincerely sorry that he neglected you just because he brought you flowers or a box of chocolates if after that he continued to behave the same as before. Don’t believe any of his excuses just because you would desperately want it to be true. And most importantly, do not be angry with yourself for the need and desire to end such a relationship. The relationship you want is one that is full of understanding, mutual respect, and even more mutual desire for each other, one in which you will know every second that person thinks of you and that you miss him, even if the message is missing because that person has not instilled distrust in you by any of his actions. And any relationship that is not like that from its very beginnings is a relationship without a future. Not necessarily, but most often.

Love is something that comes later, with time, when you get to know all the nuances of a person’s character and when you realize that you love him or her no matter what. Infatuation is what happens at the very beginning of a relationship. These are all those moments when we can't get enough of the other person and we want to spend every free moment with them. These are all those moments when you burn with desire for another person and because of which you forget that there is anything else in the world. What comes when infatuation passes and whether it is possible for it to last forever is another topic, but it is certain that in a relationship in which someone claims to be crazy about you, and does not show it by their actions, something is seriously wrong. If it was real, you would never once wonder what happened to him. Why doesn't he answer? How come he has no need to hear you or see you for 2, 5, or 7 days. When she is loved and wanted, a woman knows this very well. Because a man who loves her and who wants to work hard in all possible ways will let her know. Whether they have been in a relationship for a month, two years, or half a century. And before you burst out laughing, I want to clarify one thing - yes, I truly believe in love that lasts forever. A few years ago, my grandmother's sister told me about her sister-in-law and brother-in-law, a couple in their late fifties who lived right next to them and who, after several decades of marriage, loved each other with almost the same intensity as on the first day. I clearly remember her telling me many times how wonderful it was to see them enjoying coffee, laughing, hugging, and kissing before work and how painful it is for them to part every time even after so many years because they always need to tell each other something more or at least simply enjoy being together. Of course, they met at some other times, when some things were a little simpler though. But love can still be simple today, only if we don’t want to complicate it unnecessarily. While I’m not sure how the two of them met exactly, I’m sure their love story, which is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever heard, precisely because it’s true and real, didn’t start with playing games. And for that very reason, I advise my friends and all women in similar situations to forget all those guys who in any way bring them restlessness, dissatisfaction, and insecurity in life. Forget about anyone asking the wrong questions! If he wanted to call, he would. If he wanted to see you, he would find the time. Who has the desire finds a way, who does not, finds an excuse!
