[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Big was a father figure to Carrie, who was abandoned by her own father, whereas Aidan was more of an equal partner. She wasn’t ready for that at the time. Seems like she is now. But her choices are coming back to bite her, because he made a life with someone else, and he’s committed to those kids above all else.

Maybe they’ll be able to rekindle things when the kids are older. But for now, she’ll have to accept that her inability to commit back then facilitated this new difficult ending.

I've never understood this saying. What is the point of having a cake if you can't eat it, and what cake are you supposed to be eating if not the one you have?

I've also never understood the deep hatred for Carrie and wish to see her punished. Like everyone who's ever not married the very first person they ever dated, you've sometimes been the one to hurt someone and sometimes been the one to be hurt, and the risk of trying to join a life with another person is that they may break your heart. Aiden and Carrie had a messy relationship but it certainly wasn't one in which she was an evil mastermind and he was some hapless naif. They tried - I feel like both of them tried. Messily, imperfectly, in good faith, they tried. And it just wasn't the right relationship at the right time.[/quote]

Interesting. I like Carrie and didn’t mean to suggest this was her “punishment” for being a bad person. I do think she made a choice that is having some consequences. And so is he! He picked turning away from Carrie when she was having doubts and instead having 3 kids with someone else. So trying to make it all work now is just … complicated. I think whenever we say we can “have it all” we’re ignoring that there’s an upside and downside to every decision we made. You can’t have it all. [/quote]

Or you can but not all at once - or not right at the moment you decide you're ready.[/quote]
