[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did it rub anyone else the wrong way… Aidan’s tirade about his ex-wife? She’s always working, Traveling, with her boyfriend, And yet here he is trying to end up with a woman who chose not to have kids so she could work, travel, have boyfriends.

It really seemed very against the grain of the show to throw his ex under the bus like that. He seems to want a woman to give him kids… But then ultimately he wants to end up with a child free woman… I guess it’s good that he’s realizing he can’t have his cake and eat it too. That speech really just rubbed me the wrong way, especially after the show introduced us to the ex and she seemed like a good person. [/quote]

I fell asleep during this ep so I’ll have to rewatch but I thought the ex was supposed to be cool, in previous episodes it seemed like he spoke well about her and didn’t she meet up for lunch with Carrie to discuss the kids etc? It didn’t seem like she was positioned as flakey but, rather, as an involved parent [/quote]

I’m not sure the writers have thought all this out… They introduced the ex as a nice caring person. She seems to be a good parent and care about Aiden.

But then in Aiden’s tirade, he was  blaming his son’s troubles on the fact that his wife is constantly traveling to China and India for work, and always with her boyfriend. That’s the reason he gave for breaking up with carrie for five years, he’s been a constant in their life, and he has to be there for them. It just did not seem to match with the woman that we met before, and, like I said, it just really rubbed me the wrong way that he’s dumping all this on his ex-wife and Mom of his kids, and yet here he is wanting to be with a woman with no responsibilities and a ton of money.

I’m not knocking Carrie, she chose the life that worked for her….but seems disingenuous of Aidan to contrast the two women like that. [/quote]
