[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She was too complicated for him. He married Natasha because he wanted simple, uncomplicated arm candy. See the last episode of season 2.

I used to think that when I was in my 20s and idolized the show.  But no, this was just Carrie's rationalization for Big not wanting a high maintenance drama queen.  [/quote]

It's also something only a woman or gay man would think.  Men don't even consider whether a woman is "complicated."  [/quote]

That's what the writers wanted you to think though. Remember when Carrie finds out that he's marrying Natasha and she goes on a rampage to learn as much as she can about her? And she concludes that Natasha is the kind of simple WASPy girl he envisioned himself marrying. The writers explicitly make the comparison with the movie The Way You Were with Robert Redford and Barbara Streisand, which is about the same thing (opposites attracting and not being able to stay together). At the end, there's a scene where Carrie calls Big Hubbell and he's like "huh?" And she's like "yeah you never got it/me."[/quote]

Is "complicated" a code word for "head case"?  Then yeah I can see him not wanting to marry her.  Men aren't hard to figure out, the vast majority just want a woman that's easy on the eyes and easy to get along with.  We never saw much about Natasha's personal life because then Carrie would have had to admit her own issues.  It's easier for her to assume Natasha is a simpleton Barbie doll and Big is shallow.
