Carrie & Big #16: With them it's ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't-live-without-each-other love!
Welcome to the Carrie & Big Appreciation Thread • • • " Have you ever been in love? Abso****inglutely" • • • - Hbo.comBig helped Carrie pick up the spilled contents of her purse when they first collided, but he kept no secrets about what was going on in his head when he handed the condoms back to her. For six seasons now, we've kept him in our sights and sighs. For years he has been in and out of Carrie's life. Big is the quintessential New Yorker, the man about town. And no one captures the single New Yorker woman better than columnist Carrie Bradshaw does. No one has captured and frustrated Carrie's heart as much as Mr. Big. Their sexual chemistry is undeniable, as was the fact that Big would never fully commit to Carrie. When he drives up on the most disappointing of birthdays with chilled champagne and a big bunch of balloons you can't help but fall for him all over again. In spite of (or maybe because of) their complicated past, he manages to ground her when she's feeling scared or alone. When he tells Carrie he's moving to California, Carrie compares his leaving NY to the Chrysler building leaving NY. That's how big a part of Carrie's life Big has been. • • • • • • Lit1586 Lonely Smile Katie _virgo_ Emily antisocial -diana- Let-Me-Fall Butterfly88 Tiffers Spikeshunny Behr4Danielle cartiergurl01 JDZachfan Flavy -cuckoo bananas- Princess Sofia Seduction *Jenn* *Stacy* seths secret sister Lysia Croft Ilovejosh Thaly Isa Edith78 Sawyer&Kate MissMarie baby_firefly 10_my_love Live in Love ~ kategirl Courtz_BV LPisKiller90 Shiri Appleby abbeyroad6282 krisor Cosmo_Gurl northernsoul Jungle Julia LostEvi Titch22 SharTheLove Mickey2384 courtneybangelcakes lubby_believer -Beautiful Disaster- jenna_mariexx esra spikeshunny valeposh gizzie_fan sanna_o75 Satine_lilly Mrs.Lachey jeslyn448 michelle ling tv_junkie house_cuddy4eva Motoko Ayoama Christy18.05 Manhattan murphyboy11 blazing star hannah&nick_fan spuffy_rox Nessa233 teganblue marian16rox greeneyeswe3tie *Lori89* Peyton Scott *PassionateJ* .::Tati::. • • • 1.

And the one thing I didn't get about Big is that, after all the time being nervous about committment, why he got engaged to Natasha so fast It felt like the writers only put it there to make it harder for Carrie as part of the whole comparing yourself to women in their 20's theme they had at around that time, but did it make sense for Big's character? I never understand why he would want to marry Natasha right after he met her practically, this was a man who was so committment phobic that he didn't even want Carrie stashing her stuff in his apartment at one point cause he was so into his own space. __________________

I got the impression he got engaged to Natasha because she was a "safe" choice. One of Carrie's friends in S1 said "It's always better to marry someone who loves you more than you love them." I think he got INCREDIBLY freaked out by how serious it was getting with Carrie and went and found someone he didn't really feel that much for because he felt safer that way. As he proved about two seconds after he got married, lol, that doesn't work. He couldn't get Carrie out of his system. He tried, and he failed. I don't think Big actually knew, or accepted, before Natasha how attached he is to Carrie. While the idea of a full romantic relationship still made him skittish a couple times after the affair, he was a lot more proactive in that in staying tied to her at least in some way.

I think you're spot on with the reason why Big married Natasha so quickly. In running away from Carrie, someone who he HAD to be with although it may have felt wrong, he ran to someone he felt he SHOULD be with. In the end he realized that you can't fight what's deep inside.
I think that's kinda like Carrie's relationship with Aidan, she always felt like she should be with him because he treated her the way she felt she deserved to be treated. The problem was that deep down she had to be with Big because he was/is "the one" for her, and her feelings for him are way stronger. __________________

Yeah, when Carrie would say something like "This is the opposite of what Big would do!" (she did that a couple times with Aidan and a LOT with the Russian), that's someone who's trying too hard. It started to seem like she was with these guys because she was getting things she really WANTED to be getting from Big, like she was focusing on what they weren't instead of who they were. And we didn't SEE Natasha and Big's relationship, but I'm guessing it went down in a fairly similar manner. She's very NOT Carrie, and that's what Big thought he needed, but it wasn't what he WANTED, and it came out all too clearly when things fell apart. Carrie said that aspect too with the Russian- every time a relationship DOES turn south for her, it's when she starts wishing all this stuff would happen with Big instead of whoever she IS with.

I remember in the final episode (can't remember if it was part 1 or part 2) when Carrie was on the phone to Miranda and said something along the lines of "I just keep wondering what it would be like to be here with Big." That said it all really.
