Carrie & Big’s Toxic Love: The Truth About Sex and the City’s Most Problematic Relationship

In this episode, I break down the messy, magnetic, and ultimately toxic relationship between Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big from Sex and the City. From the very first season, the red flags were impossible to ignore—yet Carrie (and let’s be honest, many of us watching) romanticized their on-again, off-again rollercoaster as “true love.”

I share why I believe Carrie and Big’s relationship was never healthy, how Carrie’s insecurities and Big’s commitment preferences—not “fears”—kept them stuck in an exhausting cycle, and why Carrie was in love with the idea of Big, not the man himself.

If you’ve ever been caught in a situationship, obsessed with someone who won’t commit, or stuck in a breakup/makeup loop, this episode will hit home. I also unpack the role of attachment styles in relationship dynamics so you can spot these patterns before they drain you.

The early red flags in Carrie and Big’s relationship

Why Big’s “commitment issues” weren’t what they seemed

How Carrie’s emotional reactions kept the cycle going
