Rule #1 for your self esteem: never say "i'll move there " if the guy doesn't even ask!

Omg this scene always killed me...my heart can’t take it....what a waste of Mc Donald’s!

A woman can learn so much from SATC if she watches carefully..

When you love someone like Big, this is what you get, worries, dishonor, low self-esteem and depression......

"I don´t want to talk about this any more". Male answer for almost everything excepting sports.

He met Natasha the first Paris trip, I guarantee it.

“I understand”, wow, he wanted to end it, he just needed the right way.

I would've taken the fries with me

If someone makes you upset, cry, and question your self esteem like Big did to Carrie it's not healthy or ok.

I think he met Natasha already and doesn’t want Carrie there.

Carrie has been such a DOORMAT. She finally stood up to him. Finally.

I had someone like Big. I finally came to my senses and left him. It was the best thing I ever did, I know my worth and I’ll make the sure the man i marry someday knows it too.

Hellooo!!!! When someone says “I understand” - you have been dumped! Run and run fast!!!!! 😆😆😆

When Carrie says that Big can't factor her into his life in any real way, it is such good acting! I really felt SJP's pain and frustration at the whole situation.

I never looked at the 2 of them and went ohhh how romantic everrrr. They were 2 adults who were supposedly worldly and sophisticated and experienced but their r/s seemed dysfunctional, a living breathing wreck. I felt there was no purity in the feelings they had for each other. It was just sex, fine dining, the occasional sleepover at each other's homes and a whole plethora of conflicts because of being on different pages. The only r/s in the 6 seasons I felt envious of was the one of Charlotte and Harry. The way she told him I dont care if you ever marry me I just wanna be with you and then he knelt to propose. That beats Carrie's moments with Big in expensive dresses inside expensive restaurants any day.

My God he really didn't like her at all did he. How on earth did the fans think it was a good idea for them to end up together? Imagine how crushed carrie must have felt after this. All he probably felt was relief

When he said “we’ll figure it out when I get back” is another example of him just stringing her along. He had no intention of working something out together to. And then says “wtf” and gaslit her when she was upset. Creep.

"You said you loved me." "I do." No he didn't. Love doesn't act like that.

He has always made her cry & she has always looked beyond that

Big's an emotionally unavailable narcissist.

“ I understand “ 😭😭😭😭 he’s evil

I love how she says "an ocean between them" as theyre on either side of the kitchen island.

SO horrible how he didn’t even bother to ask Carrie if she wanted to come to Paris with him, if he had to stay there long term. And yet she kept going back to him. I can’t help but wonder... are we all doomed to be addicted to our Mr Bigs when our Aidans are just around the corner?

“Running around town in a barret” I always laugh at that part.

I’m not sure if this was intentional but did anyone else notice that when Carrie says “This is about you being so freaked out that you have to put an ocean between us” they’re both standing at opposite ends of the kitchen island? it’s like the director was trying to emphasize with the setting that they’re physically and emotionally growing apart.

I'd kill for those fries right about now!

This scene is so sad. I feel her anger and pain. Great acting!

Here's the thing. He can reach her, but she can't ever get him xD xD

Big was always honest with Carrie, she just wouldn't get the hint. She thought he would change for her, that she'd turn him into a family man or something and because he wouldn't, she presented him like the bad guy. How many times had he shown her that she wasn't indeed "the one" and she constantly went back for more.

I always remember the tartar sauce on the television...

He didn't tell her about Paris till the day of his flight. She still came back. We all are fools.

Big is so mean here but it always makes me laugh out loud when he says "what the fuck?" after she throws the food 😂

No wonder Big had a heart condition... Carrie's drama and the greasy food she bought killed him hahahahaha

A relationship based on sex , very rarely works long term

The line '...move to Paris and expect anything.' Carrie, stop this right now. This guy AIN'T for you.

“ I understand “……felt like a hammer to the head.

This is what she did to Aiden..

She needed suffering. If he behaved like Aidan, she wouldn't need him.

Can’t stop looking at the Big Mac, which was crushed against the TV 😂

2000:”Love Carrie” 2019:”Pure Drama Queen”

I hate men who are like big. It’s happened to me . I am so frustrated because of that

the crazy and sad thing is that we've all been in this kind of situation at some point or another, it sucks that sometimes people get strung along like this yeah it seems like its meant to be but timing is everything i suppose. i feel carrie so much

This show's writing is so funny. What does this guy do?! "I'm moving to Paris for work." What work? He just wears suits.

Hilarious the burger bun stuck on the painting at 3.39 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He just didn't love her the way she did...

"Don't get Carrie-d away". Big was the smart one. He knew what she was like.

That, right there. Those of us who have been with a Mr big know this oh so well

I never would have turned back after walking out that door. It's so obvious he doesn't give two shits about her.

Being hurt countless times by Big wasn't enough to walk away once and for all.Doing things and wanting to be a part in the life of someone who doesn't really give a damm about you...So devastating a total dead end relationship...It hurts awfully when you realise that you're not significant for the person who's significant for you.

After watching this episode, I realized, if a guy moved away from me, I now take that as him wanting out and not caring

My son’s father is/was my Mr. Big. I don’t understand the hold he has on me even now. I’ll be glad when I meet someone someday who makes me not even think twice about him.

He’s a player. Plain and simple.

I love the way Big says “what the fuck” in the series lmao

Carrie is a hopeless romantic child and Big is a pragmatist business guy. The scene is where fantasy got crushed by reality. Carrie is acting based on the future she created in her head and Big is acting based on the present, he’s just being realistic

the way she kisses him, talk to him.. and he is so distant. He does not care. "Are we thinking of doing something?"... wake up Carrie there is no "we". He's just stringing you along and then he will marries the first girl he meets. "Why is it so hard?" He does not want you dear! Stop forcing a relationship onto him!

The scene is completely realistic in my opinion, especially when she says you said you loved me and he replies.. I do.. while he’s also saying not to move to Paris for him? It’s a complete mind fuck, that would confuse anyone. People can say what they want about Carrie she was immature, a shit friend, she was pathetic etc but I can’t fully blame her in this on and off relationship, he was like a magnet to her, he would chase her and then push her away in such an ongoing cycle, and it was hard for her to completely cut it off especially because he had money, class, and she was attracted to him etc and when you really look at it he wasn’t an awful evil guy, he just wasn’t the best when it came to their on and off toxic relationship , he never really knew what the hell he was doing! I wouldn’t be surprised if he had met Natasha around this time and so he was off with Carrie all of a sudden Iv been in a situation like that, where I was in a toxic on and off relationship with a guy who would mind F me constantly, telling me he didn’t want a relationship and girlfriend right now but if he did he would date me, it was a mess. But he ended up cutting me off when he did meet another girl behind my back and behaved like Big did here. In the end they didn’t last just like Big and Natasha didn’t, and he did try contacting me and crawling back into my life, only I grew up and I forced myself to leave him in the past. Sometimes I wish Carrie had of been as strong to do so too! But sometimes I can’t help but love their relationship here and there throughout the show.

How dare she , i 'm huge fan of fillet o fish

all she wanted was a committed relationship from big. gor her to know that thuer relationship was real and on the road to somwhere but he kept his distance from her all the time. he didnt know what he wanted. but he did know that he didnt want carrie to be with another man and moving forward with him.

Omg! Carrie looks amazing and she conveys the suffering of the situation so real😥

When the scenes are stitched together you can see how uninterested Big was in Carrie. Like get the hint !!!

It wasn't hard for him to factor her into his life. He just didn't want to.

It's literally about work 🤣🤣

They are having such a toxic relationship. In real life, they are definitely going to split up

Looking back on it, Carrie and Big deserved each other and that's not a compliment.

He never loved Carrie... he just stayed with her in the end because it was convenient for him.

I hate this time in their relationship. I hate how she reacts. But her hair looks great!!!!

Don’t move in account me . That’s bad . I laughed when she threw the McDonald’s . 😂😂

“I don’t want you to uproot your life and expect anything.” Damn!

So Big goes to Paris and marries Natasha. Carrie and Big have an affair. Carrie goes off to Paris with Alexander. Big flies to Paris to get Carrie. They marry and he drops dead in the shower. The End.

She was always role-playing to entertain him, just trying so hard. Isn't it ironic how Aiden pressured Carrie and he's labeled a bully but when she pressured Big, that was justifiable. Carrie kept going off by the rails, throwing fits at Big's place, at parties, in restaurants, in the streets everywhere really and that's just fine. There's no great love, not even much in common except they're both narcissists. She wanted the status, glamor and riches he could provide.

Never in a million years a man like Big would have married a woman like Carrie... She's been sooooo desperate and needy and clingy all the series I couldn't bare it and no normal man ever would. The ending is a beautiful fairy tale which would have never happened in a real life. I love SATC but Carrie's behavior in relationships is way out of line.

You would think Carrie would look at Steve, Harry, and Smith and think "My friends seem so happy. I want a boyfriend like that". And she had Aidan at one point! Some girls just like to suffer.

I lie her straight long hair, I wish she wore it like that more often, but her curly hair is also nice.

When he said, “you be moving to Paris for yourself, right.” Dooop! I felt that like a body blow, heart crusher.

I'm so tired of calming down

If I recall correctly, on Carrie and Big's first date they didn't even bother going out on a date and went straight to bed...the relationship was inevitably doomed.

Well by the end of the series we ge to realize why big wanted carrie to go to paris only for herself and not him. She would be lonely and alone in one of the most beautiful places of the world.

Mr. Big was actually the mature one in this. Both people should be able to follow their careers and if she really loved him she would respect that his job is important to him. Just like he respects her life. Move to Paris for yourself but mot because you can't be alone. He wants a partner by his side, not a dramatic little girl who throws temper tantrums whenever he makes a choice. Although he should've told her earlier. That's for sure.

A real lover never hurt his love, he is not a real lover, this kinda men make me sick😝 so selfish

Hearing carries heart break made my heart break for her 😢

Each time I would see how Carrie was desperate for his love made me cringe. Watching satc made me realize no man is worth over losing your own worth

Big is not wrong. He made it perfectly clear the boundaries of the relationship. A mature woman would have been grateful that he wasn't making false promises.

It was like me years back. I moved to a different province to be with the person I was dating and as soon as I got there i was messaged “I hope you didn’t move here because of me”

I think Big was misunderstood with this Paris thing tbh. He said he didn’t want to tell her until he got more details because it wasn’t 100% happening and she freaked out about how he never factors her in and then says to him the next day “I’m not gonna come” which either means she just invited herself or he wanted her to come. And also he says “I have to be in a relationship where if I have to go to Paris I have to go to Paris” which probably means his previous wife wasn’t bothered that he went away for long amounts of time as it was for work and he himself didn’t think it was as big of a deal as Carrie thought it was as she has probably never been in a long term relationship with a wealthy business man who puts his work as one of the main priorities. He just thought if he told Carrie it would be a quick talk and not a deep chat and assumed that they would do long distance/ he would come to NY a few times and vice versa. So Carries outburst was confusing to him and at this point he realized he couldn’t be with someone who didn’t understand what his work requires that’s why he replies with “I understand”. So in conclusion Big wasn’t the bad guy in this situation but instead needed someone who understood his work. It was not about that he didn’t love Carrie, which he did, it was about his job.

I went and got mcdonald's after watching this 😂

After watching these scenes, my very female reaction is not "Why wouldn't Big commit?' but "Why wasn't Carrie committed?"

this is the best scene in sex and the city

Why is it so hard to have me in ur life in a real way.....????? All women always

He wanted a classy woman, Carrie was fun and easy not marriage material. In the end he settled for her. Really I think he wanted someone like both Natasha and Carrie in one person but couldnt find it so he had to pick one. He messed up with Natasha and then eventually only Carrie left because she was desperate and a doormat. A woman with class like Natasha could love him to death but never go back after such an awful thing such as cheating. Carrie accepted any behaviour.

Lmao Carrie had a taste of her own medicine the way she did to Aiden. I guess Aiden really dodged the bullet.

This is the only time I actually agree with Big, I feel like Carrie puts her relationship over herself every time. And when Bug said “don’t move to Paris for me” I totally agree. That’s why it didn’t work out whit Alexander Petroski

Don't expect to be treated like a wife if you're not.

This was the most toxic relationship in tv history other than Ross and Rachel from Friends.

she is so into him and he is so not that into her it's sad

Carrie is such a doormat!

Oh my 🙉 the more i watch and think about the situation the more rediculous it gets. She looks like obsessed with him. She is not his wife, they dont live together, he never promissed anything to her, he didnt ask her if she would consider to join him. ...Her behaviour can not be attractive to anybody, its scary. I understand her feelings but kinda she made it all up herself, she desided to stay with the man who can not commit, who has lots of issues and old habbits, she is obviously not the girl he dreamed of, i think he liked her a lot, even loved her, but he wanted someone well mannered, classic. I guess it hit him hard too when he realised he actually loved her as she was funny and he loved talking to her, laughing with her....but it deffinately was time consuming for him to decide if he really would want to spend the rest of his life with her. I could never wait for a guy like that, too complicated for me 😣 but i guess could be fine for someone. 🤔

This scene always makes me crave McDonalds

The older I get the more I realize how needy Carrie was, she did not have much self love, she wasn’t mature enough to leave Big since he was not really committed to her at the beginning, she preferred to suffer for so many years while big was giving her just Half or little love every time he wanted. He is right in this episode when he tells her: if you decide to move to Paris do it because you will do it for you, not for me. Carrie did have emotional dependency.

Big reminds me my ex-boyfriend. 100% chemestry and he is so charming...we know from the begenning that it will not work out as we were not expecting the same things. We had a beautiful 1 year together. Actually I never call him my boyfriend in front of him or our friends. I introduice him like my lover (mon amant). I knew I can't change who he is but I was so in love that somehow I try to change him ...then we broke-up. I met my version of "Aiden" and we now together for 13 years and we have a 5 years old son. I still meet my Mr Big every year for a holyday lunch. We are still friend. He talks about the girls he is dating and I talk about works and my family life. We are exactly were we expected 15 yeasrs ago. I have no regrets. We live our aventure and we have today our own life.

I love the background music in the end. When she tells him to go to Paris. She's not going.
