Neither Man Is Right for Carrie — Alyssa Ray
The debate between Mr. Big and Mr. Aidan has divided the nation. Sex and the CityI have been a fan for decades but I am here to offer a valuable opinion. Both men are trash and neither deserve Carrie. Let’s start with Mr. Big, whose real name is John James Preston, by tHe way. The New York-based businessman is a total egomaniac, only gracing Carrie with his presence when heFeels monogamous.
The first season ofSex and the CityBig tells Carrie that he doesn’t want to be married again and refuses to commit to her. Fast forward to season two, in which Big returns from Paris with a 20-something fiancée, proving he was gaslighting Carrie in the early days of their relationship.
He then marries the 20-something, only to cheat on his new bride with Carrie, making her the other woman—which is a slap in the face if you ask me. Big goes on to blow in and out of Carrie’s life for several seasons, only to declare his love for her when she’s finally happy in a new relationship. Even though Carrie is finally wooed with this manipulative gesture of love, their future is not happy.
