Sex in the City...Hmmph!! - 08/08/00 02:39 AM
<BR>Hi All -<P>Anyone watch HBO's Sex in the City? If so, you'll know what I am talking about....<P>For those who don't.....<P>Main female character (Carrie) dates "Mr Big" (either cuz he's rich or "that" or both....I am not sure!!)....anyway....<P>Mr Big slow on commitment....goes to Paris for work and comes back engaged.....tells Carrie who is devastatedly shell shocked!!!<P>Takes a while, but she finally gets past it and into a new relationship......he's great so far and completely down-to-earth!!<P>In comes Mr Big....unhappily married now apparently (wife likes everything BEIGE!!!) and drinking quite a bit. He bumps into her a couple of times, says he is leaving his marriage, then calls her at home...leaves message....she calls back (after much hemming and hawing) and he disses her by saying he was wrong that he isn't going to leave, blah, blah.....<P>Then she gets a call - he's there in the lobby and wants to see her.....meanwhile it is her boyfriend (who's at her apt.) that has told him where she is - so he knows that "Big" is looking for her but not that they have a history!<P>She comes down to see him.....he is miserable....blah, blah....<BR>follows her back into elevator and although she initially resists......he pushes...she crumbles.....<P>Cut to sharing a smoke in bed afterwards.......<P>UGH!!!!!!!<P>The reason for my posting this is twofold......<P>One - that it just goes to show that this is so "accepted" as entertainment!!!!<P>Two - that I have some torn emotions here......<P>On the one hand.....Big is MARRIED!!!! Yes, for a non-committal-minded man, it was too quick and very stupid....but he is married none-the-less!!!<P>On the other hand...He was in a relationship with Carrie at the time of his "affair and engagement"......<P>Who claims being cheated on? Who is the one in fantasy? Who is the "right" female to win out here? <P>My instincts say that MARRIAGE is sacred and should win out.....but my emotional feeling is that he entered into this "sacred" thing stupidly and through deception and lies given to Carrie.....<P>What do you all think on this? I find it very frustrating......<P>Maybe it is just that Big is "Logan" from L&O and I like him!!<BR>LOL!!!!!!<P>Let's talk about this!!!!<P>Hugs,<P>Sheba <P>PS - I question only the triangle, but know that the real victim right now is Carrie's boyfriend!!!!<p>[This message has been edited by Sheba (edited August 07, 2000).]
