"And Just Like That" TV show - RIDICULOUS!
Have any Stalkers been watching this? Especially the Season 3 episodes?
FWIW, every single episode and interaction between Carrie (no kids) and AIden (father of two boys) is so ridiculous. The most recent episode, Aiden confessed that he had sex with his ex - they were both stressed out about their son, didn't mean anything, etc.
And Carrie's reaction? She essentially stood there hang-dog and said she understood how that could happen.
ROTFL! How many of us here would be OK with our DH/SO having sex with their ex??
I am firmly convinced that this entire relationship between Carrie and Aiden is being written by an ex-wife whose ex-husband is in a new relationship. Every single encounter makes Carrie look like a buffoon or a desperate idiot willing to take any scraps thrown her by the man and his kids and ex-wife.
Damn. I liked Sex and the
Damn. I liked Sex and the City.
The fact he wants her to wait for him for 5 years so he can deal
The fact that he wants her to wait for him for 5 years so he can deal with his son was ridiculous as well. And that she agreed to it was even worse! I haven't seen the most recent episode, but the one where she spent time with him on the farm with his kids was just cringe worthy. Aiden is cleary a horrible parent and the problem kids is only going to get worse. He broke a window and there were apparently no consequences! I think the ex wife's husband knows what is really going on - Carrie should take a clue from him.
I haven't started this season
I haven't started this season, but I've seen so much about it online about how miserable it all is. Like why did they turn Miranda into a shiftless person with no money and no job and having to crash at other people’s places? I never liked Aiden, but honestly Carrie is the last one to talk about hooking up with an ex while she's still in a relationship. And yeah, typical of a guy to figure a woman should wait and be faithful while he goes off to deal with his shit.
I always thought Aidan was
I always thought Aidan was kind of smug, too. The "slept with an ex" angle might make sense if Carrie feels she "owes him one" for sleeping with Big back in the day. But to play it as "it's for the kids!" Is nauseating.
But she does have a job, that is why not having an apartment is
But she does have a job, that is why having her live in temporary rentals makes no sense. She moved in with Carrie and it didn't work out, because they continued to ruin her character by having her be a horrible roomate. She has finally asked Seema to find her an apartment. I don't understand why the writers have changed her character so much for the worse and am surprised Cynthia Nixon has gone along with it. I am pretty much hate watching it at this point.
Well.. S&C was probably not
Well.. S&C was probably not the most moralistic show.. haha. Focus on social lives.. fashion... and "hollywood" does have a habit of making what a lot of people might think of as distastefull as "common place".
Like cheating? oh.. it's so continental.. no biggie right? just tell the girl you love them.. all forgiven. They normalize lots of stuff that honestly.. isn't a great way of life.
and.. they are doing this for ratings.. boring vanilla and boundaries (not red room ones).. are boring.. who wants to watch a show about their day to day lives.. (well.. seinfeld.. but even that wasn't all that normal.. haha).
I never really enjoyed the
I never really enjoyed the original show and didn't watch the spin offs but the writers got it right
I know many ppl on here might disagree or have a different experience but it's well known that exes with children like to "revisit" things...especially when the separation is recent and the BM doesn't have a partner
There are many stories of people who separated and moved on but every so often sleep with each other because they have kids
Kids are an unbreakable bond and for many it will last for life sexually
A nauseating thought.
I cannot imagine retreading with an X. Under any circumstance. Particularly when that X was a character void waste of time and skin.
Getting laid is not that difficult as to dive back into that kind of crap.
My bride has a friend/former coworder whose XH begged her for one more roll in the hay after she ended it due to abandonment. He lived at work, then his basement man hole while she raised their two beautiful kids and had a thriving very successful career.
When she had had enough, she filed, changed the locks, and got on with her life while he kept banging his head against the wall of a promotion he had been denied several times.
Interestingly, he got hte promotion after their divorce had been filed. That was when he begged for sex with her one more time. Nope, she was done.
She went on to even greater professional success, an amazing second marriage, and is not a natilally renowned competitive fitness athelete and fitness facility owner. She and DH#2 have a beautiful pre-teen together, and her two COD children are confident successful young people/university atheletes.
Her X is a non influence in any of their lives though they all live in the same medium sized city.
Let them beg. Find release elsewhere.
I did. My XW had it in her mind that we could date each other after we divorced. Nope, I was not interested. We did have somewhat of a re-connection during marriage counseling and during the last couple of months before she filed and then moved out. No sex, but certainly a slight improvement in physical affection,. Nothing sexual, just some tenderness. She tried to be intimate, I was not having it.
I had a date and a spicy sleep partner the night of the day she and XFIL moved her shit out of our home. I had the locksmith in route as they pulled out of our driveway.
The next AM there was pounding on the front door. I answered it with a towel wrapped around my waist. My XW was ranting that her key did not work. Nope, it wouldn't. I had the locks re-keyed. I informed her that though she was on the hook for half of the mortgage payment, she had left and no longer lived there so she had no access. Never again did she enter our home. Not once.
She was ranting at me, then went silent. I turned and behind me was a beautiful blonde young woman wrapped in a bed sheet. She was someone I had dated about a year before my XW and I started dating. I had run into her a couple of weeks earlier at a club one evening after a group of friends and I popped in for drinks after a day on the lake.
I called her as XW and XFIL were pulling out of our driveway. I had called the locksmith when XFIL had shown up to load her crap. They were outside putting the first stuff in the truck and trailer. We had agreed that our belongings would be split by who had gifted it all to us at our wedding. My family had given us all of the appliances and furniture except for the microwave and a rolling dishwasher.
Anyway, never, ever, ever, get intimate with an XW or XH. Ever. Who knows what critters they may have picked up since we moved on and for sure no one wants to make a fresh life long critter with an X. Even if you have procreated with them before, do not reset that clock. That is a bell that someone cannot un ring. It did not work the first time, why risk it again. The stats are divergent on the success rate of remarriages to an X. Some sources say 75% succeed. Others say 30% success rate.
Either outcome, if you don't reengage an X, there is zero chance of re-experiencing the tragic prior experiences. Those are odds I can live with.
IMHO of course.
