26 Jul
Summary
- Carrie confronts Aidan's resurfacing trust issues
- Carrie stands her ground, refusing to be blamed for Aidan's insecurities
- Carrie decides to end her relationship with Aidan, realizing they can't give each other what they need
In the recent episode of the 'Sex and the City' sequel series 'And Just Like That...' on HBO Max, Carrie Bradshaw is forced to confront the issues in her relationship with ex-husband Aidan. The two have been together for 20 years, with a tumultuous history, and Carrie notices Aidan's old jealousy resurfacing as he needles her handsome neighbor Duncan.
Carrie stands her ground, bluntly telling Aidan that he is worried about her and another man. When Aidan tries to excuse his trust issues, Carrie fires back, refusing to be blamed for his insecurities. The confrontation comes to a head during a tense lunch, where Carrie realizes that Aidan still "has" trust issues, not "had" them. Frustrated, Carrie finally decides she can't give Aidan any more than she already has, and that it's not enough for him.
In a powerful moment reminiscent of her best 'Sex and the City' scenes, Carrie takes control of her future, walking away from the relationship. As a Taylor Swift song plays, Carrie heads back out onto the New York City streets to meet her girlfriends, reclaiming her independence and showing that her story is far from over.
