Who could’ve seen this coming? Oh right—literally everyone. In the latest episode of And Just Like That, Carrie finally sleeps with her aggressively pleasant downstairs neighbor, Duncan—a man who went from cranky loner to golden retriever in record time.

Carrie and Aidan’s relationship spans from the original Sex and the City series to the abomination known as And Just Like That…—and yet, absolutely nothing has changed in 25 years.

We did it, girls. We endured nine episodes of emotional constipation and flannel-clad sulking, but finally, the man-baby has exited the building. Aidan is GONE.

Why do men pull away in the early stages?

You know the feeling … it’s that palpable shift that you can’t quite put your finger on, it just hangs in the air sending waves of panic throughout your being.

While we all know some men are only interested in hooking up, it’s not always as clear which men those are! Some guys are super upfront about what they want. Others either accidentally or purposefully send mixed messages.

Bad relationships happen to the best of us. We don’t mean to get into these toxic situations, it’s just hard to see beyond the blinding lights of lust and what we mistake as love.

“It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.” – Oscar Wilde Everybody wants to be charming.

There’s a saying that goes, you can never recycle wasted time, and oh how true that is. No one intends to get into a dead-end relationship.
