I'm not sure Carrie KNEW he was MARRIED to Natasha when she was with him at that time....

Still doing my research..

YOU MUST UNDERSTAND HOW CRUSHING THIS IS TO A "CARRIE" FAN... crazy

YES, Big cheated on Natasha w/Carrie. She came home & ran out, Carrie ran after her wishing to apologize or something, and she fell down the stairs.

You see there, I don't think Carrie knew that Big was still married or something like that...

OHHHHHHHHHHHH

I get it Mimi - he had a relationship with Carrie (GF) then he MARRIED Natasha so him cheating on Natasha with Carrie wasn't adultery? SO he gets a get-out-of-jail free card because she was once his girlfriend?

Aaaah, yes, she did. They usually met up at hotels, etc. Yep, definitely no mistake there. She said all the time how wrong it was, etc...

I have been there since day 1 as well......

Mimi....why aren't I surprised you have a bit of Carrie in you. Me, I more of a Charlotte girl myself....lol

Now, Big and Carrie WERE dating before. He didn't marry her, went to Paris, met Natasha, and married her. Came back to NYC, him and Carrie started up again. She DID feel guilty during all of this (big time play to the ADDICTION stuff on here if you ask me....). Natasha did catch them, Carrie saw herself being the "other woman" and ended it with Big. She also lost Adian to this. Big and Natasha divorced, Natasha's doing. So is Big and Carries M an AFFAIRAGE????


I personally say no, because Big did not D Natasha to be with Carrie.....it happened MANY YEARS LATER WHEN BOTH WERE FREE TO DO WHAT THEY WILL.....

I understand the whole Hollywood glorifying affairs thing we all hate, but I TRULY do not believe that that was done in this case.....

Of course, I can't be supportive of her anymore...

But, I STILL HATE YOU, NATASHA!!!

I personally don't think anyone can ever marry an affair partner and not have it considered adultery.

Read my post MIMI.....it gives you a little more insight......Yes Carrie did wrong, but she did try what she could to "right" it.....even though as a BS myself, I am not sure a BOW can do that.....

Mimi - 7, 8 years? And you just write her off? Surely you sat thru that episode??

It's TV folks. Glorified, fantasy, TV & now a (great!) movie. Their marriage is an affairage...yep, a fake, made-for-TV, pretend, not-real-but-we-love-it, affairage.

And look how they blossomed over the years. Even Samantha settled down - and REFUSED to cheat - and then Carrie thought Miranda should take Steve back...all this is very different from the group who started the series in their 30s!!

Ah, well.

I'm with you, not2. This is what I remember as well because Carrie was so freaked out when she found out Big got married.

I thought I had remembered the wrong thing until you piped in.

That is NOT the reason I have seen around here why people like that movie.....I did see and I loved it before all of this.....but now it takes on a whole new meaning for me. Besides, I know that they watched it together... sick

ok....back to SITC.....sorry I still love it....
