Someone needs to smack the writers of And Just Like That, the Sex and the City reboot, with a dose of reality. The entire Internet hates what they’ve done to longtime couple Miranda Hobbes and Steve Brady. (We also hate everything else about this show but there’s too much to mention here. You can read my other reviews here and here.) For some reason, the writers thought that breaking up this couple who made it through an unplanned pregnancy, infidelity, and more would be exciting for the viewers. But turning Miranda, a clearly heterosexual woman, into a non-binary attracted lesbian did not have the effect they were expecting. Instead, an entire community of “hate-watchers” popped up on YouTube where the original SATC audience is having group therapy every week to cope with the mess the writers have made.
But the deeper issue that is making blood boil across the fanbase is the absolute disregard for long-term marriage that the writers are pushing on the audience. We are supposed to believe that Miranda’s marriage is stale, boring, sexless, and dead because they spend their time sharing dessert on the couch while Netflix-and-chilling.
Am I the only one who thinks, “What else are 55-year-old people supposed to be doing on a Tuesday night during a pandemic?” I’ve been married 21 years and every night Mr. Fox or I make dinner (we take turns) and then we wrangle the children into helping with clean up. After that, we make sure homework is done and Mr. Fox puts the little one to bed...

I have seen most of the original version and none of the new one.
Sometimes this scene pops into my head at odd times

“OMG she’s fashion road kill.”
I have been there metaphorically...
Pick yourself up from it
And then there is the Miranda scene when she is told she is acting full of herself. That one pops up
The part with Charlotte..uh..not so much
The writers are homosexuals that made a show about women acting like homosexual men. Not even once.
They would not be writing such a show if it wasn’t true that almost always, women gretly benefit compared to men, when it comes to divorce.
Someone once described Sex In the City, as “four gay men trapped in women’s bodies”.
I remember once when some chick mentioned she had gotten divorced and I said I was sorry to hear that.
She looked a bit surprised and said, that it was actually sort of a good thing, to which I replied, “Well, you weren’t planning on getting divorced the day you got married right?”
She looked pretty astonished.
Celebration of divorce is something I’ve never bought into.
There's been only one truly comprehensive sexual behavior study. It was done a couple of decades ago and they determined, to their surprise, that the people who have sex the most frequently, who are happier with their sex lives, and the women achieve the Big O the most frequently, are the people who have all 3 of these qualities:
Their religion is Christian. And
The said they're married. And
They said they attended church regularly.
And there’s that sacrament thing too.
“Celebration of divorce is something I’ve never bought into.”
It is if you married a stealth psychopath and make a relatively clean getaway.
Kind of like surviving a plane crash and kissing the ground at your feet.
You never meant to get in that situation but it’ll make you happy as winning the lottery if do survive it. Like a second birthday and fully new lease on life!
What’s ‘Sex in the City’???
Isn’t that a drink, like “Sex On the Beach”?
I wouldn’t know. I’ve always done those things in the suburbs.
Yet the difference in divorce rates between those identified as regularly practicing Christians and those who identify as secularis statistically insignificant.
Not among evangelical Christians.
i’m not sure what you mean, or how it answers treagle’s statement.
Even among evangelicals as a group; the one significa t exemptio is among devout Christians.
Professor Bradley Wright, a sociologist at the University of Connecticut, explains from his analysis of people who identify as Christians but rarely attend church, that 60 percent of these have been divorced. Of those who attend church regularly, 38 percent have been divorced.[1]

That describes my divorce to a T. I never imagined I'd end up in the situation that I did with a wife who essentially moved in with a drug addict every time I went away for work. When I was able to rid myself of her without handing her everything I owned it was one of the happiest days of my life. It was like I had escaped the hangman.
Mrs. Chandler and I are both devout Catholics, and I can attest to everything you listed.
I am one lucky man.
“Celebration of divorce is something I’ve never bought into.”
I agree; it is sad no matter what.
We’ve moved on past that to “celebrities” celebrating their abortions (one of the crimes against humanity for which Nazis were hung at Nuremberg).
