Big and Carrie are not a great love story for our time. They are terrible role models who made millions of women (or maybe just you) believe that if they just waited it out, kept being available and kept ruining perfectly good relationships that could have made them very happy, that eventually, a self involved and unavailable assh**e would come around and realize that you were the best thing that ever happened to him. Self, that is not going to happen.
YES.
What I thought made it worse was that Carrie was all up in her 40s with this mess. I think I got this all out of my system in my 20s. I hope.
