This is what it looks like when a dad puts his children first. EVEN with a divorce and a new girlfriend. Parents, take notes. He did the right thing. I love that they showed this ❤
It’s a tv show. If parents need a lesson in how to be good parents from Sex & The City, they and their kids are in far more trouble than anything that can be fixed by watching this show.
@@EastSide-qc5oy haha true! I love that they showed from this perspective of sacrifice in his part. Tv shows like this usually highlight how people “choose their own happiness” and “live their truth” but this is a moment when he needs to be there for his son, and the writers let him. The best! And she understood! Mostly! It’s hard but such a truthful moment!
@@mvs5868 no, he’s 15. Teenagers need their parents, even if it seems like they’re grown up and self sufficient and they don’t “need” them to say, make their lunch or hang out as much. They need their parents. Aiden (Ayden?) even says it here I think he says, He needs me.
Put your kids first to a degree. Aidan could still be there for his son and for Carrie. He’s not even trying to be there for Carrie. This writing is awful.
Does Aidian realize that they are no longer in their 20's or 30's? They will be in their mid 60's by the time his son is out of his teens. And even then, he still may not be ready.
He won't ever be ready for Carrie . She broke his heart , TWICE. Married the guy she cheated on him with . No wonder he doesn't love her anymore and is hesitant.
Carrie was 35 years old when she was cheating on Aiden, lying to him, and keeping her engagement ring on her necklace lol That woman been had problems but Aiden chose to ignore them. This is on Aiden now.
After all that Carrie put him through, the 5 year plan sounds reasonable. He will not rush into it because he wants to observe whether she is stable or not. Earlier when he wanted to marry her for real, she made it hard for him. She demanded 1 year remember? She was not sure because in her mind she was still hoping Big would come for her. Now that Big is dead, she is clinging on to her next best option. Nuh uh. Earn him bish.
@poulomi_hari What?! Lol..All that happened years ago, not recently to Aidan and if you watch this again, he's not leaving her to make sure she's stable to be with, no one waits five full years to make sure the person they want to be with, is stable when he won't even be around her to know how she'll be. He had to leave because of his 14 year old son, he was in a bad car accident and was high..Aidan said he wants to be with his sons, especially his 14 year old son. He told her he won't lose her again. He wants to be with her but he's putting his son first until he's out of his teen years, his son will be 15 years old and that's why Aidan said five years to be there for him. Nothing to do with Carrie.
@@AnonymousPerson0182 She jilted him and cheated on him. Should she be a priority or his kid?

Let him turn her down after all she put him through she should be the one to propose this time.
@cathylake9072 I mean apparently Carrie is the same Carrie since the moment she met big. She doesn't value herself, so how can she value a good man like Aidan. 🤔 I'm glad Aidan came to his senses. And I hope that he finds someone better while he's taking care of his kids.
I can't believe they killed off Big and brought Aidan back for this. So glad I stopped watching after season one - although I kinda wished I never started, since they ruined the legacy of the original series with all this tripe. Bleh.
This show is ALL about milking the cash cow. It relies on nostalgia of the audience. They have to keep bringing old characters back even if it's implausible, such as the case here.
Never wait for anyone... If it's temporary yes and you're young, but 5 years and NO contact what so ever in that timeframe?!... It's disrespectful to even suggest that. I hope nobody would settle for that irl.
I agree you have to be there for your children. But there is also a time where your children need to learn to take responsibility and not constantly have a clean up service. If he wants to do it, that’s absolutely fair enough but it is selfish to ask someone to wait around. Let them go and do you!
You kinda said that perfectly. I am in agreement with that completely. So what’s after 5 years? The kid is gonna be in the same position he is now expecting Dad to be right there to clean up another stupid decision, albeit maybe not the same one but there’s always gonna be something. Dad’s not always gonna be available when you feel like throwing responsibility out the window. It’s pretty ridiculous he’s asking my her to wait that long especially with the added out of his teens comment because as people undeniably know after our teens its pretty much common sense today that it’s basically perfect from then on
Not one bit of this makes sense. Aiden is silly. There is nothing wrong with prioritzing your Children. However, it is wrong to hold someone else hostage if you are not willing to incorporate them into your Family. Asking for a couple of Months, cool. Asking for a 5 yrs, stupid and unnecessary. I get it, Carrie hurt Aiden's feelings. But he did not wait for her, he moved on. Nor did Carrie cheat on him with some random dude, she went on to Marry Big and stayed with him for 20yrs...it wasn't a fling. Aiden wanted a fresh start, cool. Well give the connection a fresh start. The children are not going to grow up and disappear, so why ask for 5yrs? They are always going to be his Children, so either build Carrie into that dynamic or don't move forward with Carrie at all. Who is writing this foolishness?! Please stop. No one is doing a 5yr bid of uncertainty after age 40...no one with any good sense. Carrie has her moments, but her character has never been that stupid. Peace out Aiden, nice seeing you again for 5 minutes 🙄
She only threw a burger at Big's wall when he said he's moving to Paris. He did that to Carrie a lot, they were a couple but he didn't always consider telling her until the day or two before he already had plans to leave. It's been so long, though. I don't remember her throwing food at walls after that. Lol
This man just told you his 14-year-old old son is starting to head in the wrong direction with drugs, suicide & a car crash, and you only think about yourself? What about me? Geez, Carrie, can't you understand that Wyatt is calling out for help? Good for you, Aiden 👏👏👏 for being a dad.
@MsAlyMonique of course, she has the right to ask where the relationship is going. But not in the same breath Aiden just told you about the emotional needs of his son. Never does Carrie say to Aiden, "How can I help?" When does Carrie ever say, "Can I help?" I think I've grown much further than these stagnant ladies. I have totally outgrown the show.
I was so happy to see Carrie and Aidan reunited. But once again they have Carrie waiting for a man. She waited for Big and now she's waiting for Aidan. This was not fair of him to ask her. I understand he wants to be there for his troubled son. but he wasn't even open to trying to maintain a relationship with her long distance. It's BS.
@@reneeparsons lol, and you're still the ex, not his wife or their step mother. It's not bs for parents to prioritize their children. Romantic partners come and go but a child is a forever bond - you can't break up with your children or divorce them, they're a part of you. Not everyone is the same. And besides that, this series would be boring af if Carrie can't hoe around for a few years... What would the show be about? She already did the series Divorce so it can't be the same as that. She can never live happily ever after because the series would end.
@@reneeparsons thank you! I am a step mom and I wasn’t a priority when I should have been. Now, 28 year old step daughter doesn’t give us the time of day. Only comes around when she needs something. It’s shitty.
@@jn8922 I agree with you to an extent about the bond. However, what is Aidan going to do when his son grows up and treats him like crap, is still self destructive, and doesn’t respect him? That’s the sad reality of a lot of parent/child relationships. Aidan can still be there for Carrie, he’s already doing that on the show, but this writing is awful and unrealistic.
Nope Carrie should call it off. I agree a man should be a father. So call it off and let the man go and be a father. At her stage in life she cannot play the waiting game. I know people who would still marry their partner regardless and make the situation work. Whether it’s driving taking turns or slowly introducing the kids to their partner over time. Aidan having a failed engagement and property issues with Carrie in the past would make him hesitant for marriage. And teenagers aren’t easy to deal with however they are people with means and resources. I suspect that Aidan’s kids will hate Carrie and make her life hell.
I looooooved Aidan !!! But this is too much , 5 years ??? Really Aidan !? 😮💨 however I can see it as carries karma for having Aidan be the placeholder those 2 times, it’s very evident these 2 are just not meant to be and both need to accept that, stop trying to make it work and go their seperate way 😢
Stupid answer to a problem; no one can project that their child will have problems for 5 years! Life doesn't work like that. The kid is manipulating...and now he has the power. It seems counseling or rehab would make more sense, but you don't sit and wait for the kid to explode at the other parents home! That is stupid....
These two have zero chemistry. Hahaha! This Aidan storyline is as ridiculous as the rest of the script!! Why not a hot new guy that she never dated or cheated on before!!!??
Because she's over 50 and not hot anymore, if ever? Even Charlotte can't pretend she ain't over 50 anymore, and she's the hottest of the bunch... Any "hot new guy" will have his pick and will never go for Carrie when he can have 20 year olds...
If you need to be around your teenage kids so much that you can't afford to have a romantic relationship, not even a long-distance relationship, the right thing to do is to get some PROFESSIONAL HELP. Not to cutt off your partner for the next 5 years.
Anyone who would ever think of being in a relationship with a selfish, self-centered narcissist like Carrie after being strung along and cheated on needs a lobotomy anyway.
He’s asking a 56 year old woman (is that right) to wait FIVE years for him? That is such bullshit. Be a real man, Aidan, and set her free. And also -- it is completely pathetic to blame his ex-wife for all the boy's problems. Aidan himself was traveling for business in the second movie!!!!
@@shailt310 There's nothing wrong with prioritizing one's children. I know, I've got a child. But asking Carrie to just wait around, with apparently little to no contact, for five years, is ridiculous. She'll be over 60 when and IF Aidan decides he still wants her. And it's not exactly teaching Wyatt realistic life-coping skills for Aidan to have absolutely no other life while he's taking care of him. If anything, that's just teaching Wyatt that he can use bad behavior to force his father to be his crutch. "Ha ha," he can tell himself, "got rid of that girlfriend!" Wyatt is NOT going to be well-prepared to fend for himself at what Aidan seems to think is the magically mature age of 20. He's more likely to be highly dependent and try some truly self-destructive stunt to keep his dad tied to him.
@@heatherhoward8064I agree, he is not saying that unfortunely he won’t be around too much because he needs to focus more on his kid, he is cutting contact completely and saying he will be back years later. Lol. That’s not even healthy for his kid. She offered to be more on the farm. He didn’t want a solution. And no one can predict the future, who says his son won’t need him later down the line again? They are in different paths of life, reunited, they can decide to stay together and make it work or just realize that it is not possible but to promise a future relationship to a future 60 ish old woman is the definition of crazy.
this whole exchange was confusing. I mean, 5 years? he can't expect her to stay faithful to him for 5 years, nor can she expect him to do the same for her. pointless.
Sorry but if this was Aidans revenge he really needs a hobby, seems like hes still holding onto resentment for Carrie. He needs to get over the past, this is ridiculous
Carrie is still pursuing him honestly he is like well I have and she is like I can be ..Carrie stop just be alone build your business a company something stop chasing heal from BIg dying and just embrace your friends like she use to do he’ll do a sec photo shoot something to take her mind off of it or even ADOPT Carrie couldn’t adopt a dog or a person idk just something
That “solution” is stupid. Aidan your kid won’t stop having problems at 20 and you have your own life, he can still put his children first while having a girlfriend.
Aiden needs to move on from Carrie. They might have great chemistry but she is a toxic poison to him. He can't resist her and she brings out the worst part of him (Very rarely but the pain she has caused him clearly shows up). He is not his best self around her. This is a god awful way to write him out of the show.
I watched all episodes except for this last part (long story) so I came on here to see if i could find it. Holy shit. He wants her to wait 5 years for him?! That's insanity. You can tell I'm not a parent bc my immediate reaction is: Carrie, love yourself more. Ditch him.
why they don't have a relation online/distance, if they wanna be and try to be together, they'll share ideas or plans, that is what a real couple do and more at their age.
This is ridiculous! Five years?! Does he realize how old he and Carrie really are?! At some point you can’t put your entire life on hold for your kids. Aidan could compromise and work out his relationship with Carrie, but he doesn’t want too. Speaks volumes about his priorities and balance. I think he really still resents her for breaking up with him, and I get that. They really shouldn’t have gotten back together. Oh, and they way that she dresses at her age is just dumb. Tacky and dumb. The writing on this show is AWFUL.
Ikr Carrie should be focusing on her own empire adopting a dog something and then if she is still in mourning have a lil bit of eye candy to keep her company but not anything serious let Aidan be he was the past this writing come on ladies do better..
Not sure what any of the men in either of these series were supposed to see in Carrie once they got to know her for more than 5 minutes....she was and is the worst.
@@lizziebkennedy7505it’s a great show she is just a terrible person- it’s like Seinfeld or it’s always sunny- they protagonist doesn’t have to be a great person for the show to be great (sex and the city was great, not this dumpster fire)
Its great that they got back together. Its like you can feel they were so in love more than before, but back then, she wasn't ready. He was and he had no choice but to go away. They were in a difficult place this time, finally on the same page (they both agreed that they were on the same page, both single and free to see each other).. Then they bought a place to live together. Everything was looking so great between them...Then the writers for this show, made Aidan leave again! How ridiculous to have them be together again for good and someone, probably the guy running this show, decided to make Aidan leave again. I can't see it on whatever movie channel this is on, I just see short episode clips on youtube! Lol.. Other people have made comments in how this show, "And Just Like That", has bad writers. I truly believe that! But John Corbett is still so good looking! I've been a fan of his since he was on Northern Exposure! ❤😊
I mean if growing up is never fucking up again then that's just not going to happen. Humans make mistakes and always will until the day we die. To expect people to miraculously never be messy or go through things then you're asking for people ot be perfect.
one thing i learned from dealing with a guy who was focused on his daughters....dont EXPECT to be in his life as u would put him....especially if ur child or children are grown.....i am not saying Aiden was doing this but i know men who use their children to lie ...so ladies pay attention...Aiden is a rare gem i always liked the way they wrote his character....not alot of men out here like him!!!
This is utter bullshit. Wyatt has serious problems and what Aidan thinks that at the magical age of 20 they'll go away? He's also setting an example to the kid here that he'll give up everything and come running when he acts out. Wyatt didn't want Carrie and he just got rid of her. I hate kids. Thank God I never had any.
I totally get a parent putting their child first but it was completely wrong for him to ask her to wait 5 years for him. Especially teenagers when they reach the ages 16-19. They are going to want to be with their friends. I did not like this plot ending.
Aidan ain't as good as he appears on the surface. He's just off to bed younger chicks and using Carrie as a safety net. See you in 5 years. You kidding.
Don't date people with kids if you don't want to be prioritized beneath them. It's just the way it's going to be if the kids aren't yours. Period. The end.
And just like that Carrie was single once again, Aiden was never right for Carrie because he wanted Carrie to change say what you will but Big never try to change Carrie
This was written by people a) with zero experience with patchwork; b) on shrooms; or c) with a really low opinion of the audience's standards. "Wait for five years. Your life passing you by means nothing. It will go by so fast anyway! I love you so."
@@AnonymousPerson0182 HI ... By my simple statement of 'we are all entitled to our opinions" I meant exactly what I said. You are entitled to yours and me mine. I didn't think I was being critcized, or censored and I certainly do not need to be condescendingly told by you to 'simmer down' because I acknowledged that people have different viewpoints. Perhaps the physician should heal themselves.
Just think Carrie could of had Aidan all to herself,but we all know how she messed that up. Now Aiden has luggage and it’s heavy. Part of me really wanted it to see it work out.
Carrie dodged a bullet. A real man can manage his family and his relationship, especially if the intentions are to turn the relationship into being a part of his family.
This is why I don’t date men with kids… I’ve said thanks but no thanks to many guys who have kids. I have dated those guys with baggages, it’s annoying and honestly I don’t want to hear about his kid this and that. Not my kids either, especially the grown kids. I chose not to have kids. Why I want to hear about his kids?! Don’t care how sexy or charming he may be, guys with kids are NOT datable. We need a man who can put us first. If a guy has even one kid that occupies his mind all the time he’s not ready for a relationship of any kind. Guys with baggage aren’t datable.
Every person alive has “baggage” of some kind, whether you consider children to be baggage or not. It’s a disgusting term to use on people. Everyone has life experiences, AKA “baggage”.
Asking someone to wait for five years when the characters are nearly 60 is nuts. Why in the world would the writers make Aiden this much of a flake? Either include Carrie in your plans or tell her to move on.
I know it’s not the point in the story but parents should realize how much damage divorce does to a child’s mental well being. Even if they look ok and act ok, that doesn’t mean they are.
His kid was acting out. This is what they do when a parent is living their life outside of their teen children... Yes, put your kids first. ALWAYS! but this kid was screaming for attention. The reason this pissed me off is bc the mom has her husband/boyfriend.. Whatever. But dad isnt allowed to date? That is wild to me. Sometimes, you need to explain to your children that once theyre out of the house, mom ans dad are going to have their own lives. Theyre still teens, yes.. But pretty soon, VERY soon, they will be living their own lives. i dont think this was fair for Aiden to do to Carrie..
Couldn’t bring myself to watch this reboot after reading Samantha wasn’t coming back. Then to hear Aiden came back after the way she treated him was the icing on the cake. He was always too good for her and she never deserved him. Had to watch this clip though as told her he was leaving. Too bad it was only because of his son and not because he finally woke up.
Carrie is not necessarily attractive, but she has enough money to get a cub instead of this aging single father that she already cheated on multiple times!! New guys in town. Don't need to recycle.
I’m sorry but this whole storyline was stupid. Aidan comes back to her after two awful breakups where she broke his heart both times. He would be running the other way!! Then he asks her to wait for him for five years! Ok. Sure.
This whole scene did not make sense to me. You are telling me that I cannot come see you even when your children are with their mother. That writing just makes no sense with his character.
Aiden is someone who is convenient for Carrie he's a great guy, great in bed, he is settled down and knows what he wants and im so happy he's absolutely putting himself first! He should never be Honorable Mention!
Carrie blew it when she cheated on him the first time, then blew it again when she told Aiden I’m not cutting out Big out of her life the 2nd time. Seriously she has shown that at the next chance to leave him, she will. She is not a family person, she has no kids and never wanted. Has his character ever come across as a guy that goes out 3 to 4 times a week out in Manhattan life?
Good for Aidan. Right decision. Carrie just doesn’t get it. She could’ve had it a beautiful life and family with him but she chose an empty romance instead. Now she’s alone. Being 60 with your girlfriends as your soulmates is no bueno.
Personally, AJLT is such s ridiculous show. I wonder if the actors themselves enjoy doing this show. Carrie leaves Aidan for Big and then begs for forgiveness, then ends up marrying Big (who leaves her at the altar), forgives him for the millionth time, only to eventually end up with Aiden after Big's death. Oh wait, now Aiden tells her to wait for him. This whole show is generally unwatchable.
Aiden's five years is guilt ...and while shitty parents have amazing kids and vice versa ( using broad terms here people) Aiden contributed to his sons circumstance ( as did his wife and just life shit) - Aiden is catastrophizing and being triggered about his own shit.

Aidan asked Carrie for time just like she asked him for time when they were engaged. Interesting callback.
He no longer values her after she cheated on him with Mr. low- life Big
Now she gets a taste of her own medicine. He is prioritizing his kids instead of Carrie. Good for him. He deserves better.

They are always going to be his Children, so either build Carrie into that dynamic or don't move forward with Carrie at all. Who is writing this foolishness?! Please stop. No one is doing a 5yr bid of uncertainty after age 40...no one with any good sense. Carrie has her moments, but her character has never been that stupid. Peace out Aiden, nice seeing you again for 5 minutes 🙄
Moronic woke 20 year olds are writing the show they literally know nothing about life
Leave alone after 50 :). She is willing to travel to his farm to see him and even that is a no go. Its crap, move on Carrie
I think the writers were on mushrooms when they wrote this show...
Carrie never ever fully appreciated the man in Aiden. She always played with him. So be it
@@beverlyluther-n3y exactly!
No hurling of food against the walls this time, Carrie is so calm
She only threw a burger at Big's wall when he said he's moving to Paris. He did that to Carrie a lot, they were a couple but he didn't always consider telling her until the day or two before he already had plans to leave. It's been so long, though. I don't remember her throwing food at walls after that. Lol

True 😂 time runs always faster after 40… but the thing is that you do not get younger, no matter how much you try do deny it 😅
This man just told you his 14-year-old old son is starting to head in the wrong direction with drugs, suicide & a car crash, and you only think about yourself? What about me? Geez, Carrie, can't you understand that Wyatt is calling out for help? Good for you, Aiden 👏👏👏 for being a dad.
She's childless...she'll never get it.
Typical Carrie. Thinking about herself
Of course she asked about herself. And she didn’t ONLY ask just about herself. She’s allowed to know where their relationship is going wtf?
@MsAlyMonique of course, she has the right to ask where the relationship is going. But not in the same breath Aiden just told you about the emotional needs of his son. Never does Carrie say to Aiden, "How can I help?" When does Carrie ever say, "Can I help?" I think I've grown much further than these stagnant ladies. I have totally outgrown the show.
@@jkhegarty857 she quite literally said that when he first called her and told her what happened what are you talking about?
I was so happy to see Carrie and Aidan reunited. But once again they have Carrie waiting for a man. She waited for Big and now she's waiting for Aidan. This was not fair of him to ask her. I understand he wants to be there for his troubled son. but he wasn't even open to trying to maintain a relationship with her long distance. It's BS.
Totally agree.
Thank you!
@@reneeparsons lol, and you're still the ex, not his wife or their step mother. It's not bs for parents to prioritize their children. Romantic partners come and go but a child is a forever bond - you can't break up with your children or divorce them, they're a part of you. Not everyone is the same. And besides that, this series would be boring af if Carrie can't hoe around for a few years... What would the show be about? She already did the series Divorce so it can't be the same as that. She can never live happily ever after because the series would end.
@@reneeparsons thank you! I am a step mom and I wasn’t a priority when I should have been. Now, 28 year old step daughter doesn’t give us the time of day. Only comes around when she needs something. It’s shitty.
@@jn8922 I agree with you to an extent about the bond. However, what is Aidan going to do when his son grows up and treats him like crap, is still self destructive, and doesn’t respect him? That’s the sad reality of a lot of parent/child relationships. Aidan can still be there for Carrie, he’s already doing that on the show, but this writing is awful and unrealistic.
Nope Carrie should call it off. I agree a man should be a father. So call it off and let the man go and be a father. At her stage in life she cannot play the waiting game. I know people who would still marry their partner regardless and make the situation work. Whether it’s driving taking turns or slowly introducing the kids to their partner over time. Aidan having a failed engagement and property issues with Carrie in the past would make him hesitant for marriage. And teenagers aren’t easy to deal with however they are people with means and resources. I suspect that Aidan’s kids will hate Carrie and make her life hell.
I looooooved Aidan !!! But this is too much , 5 years ??? Really Aidan !? 😮💨 however I can see it as carries karma for having Aidan be the placeholder those 2 times, it’s very evident these 2 are just not meant to be and both need to accept that, stop trying to make it work and go their seperate way 😢
Ruin your own love life because your 14 year old is doing magic mushrooms. Laughing my ass off😂
Stupid answer to a problem; no one can project that their child will have problems for 5 years! Life doesn't work like that. The kid is manipulating...and now he has the power. It seems counseling or rehab would make more sense, but you don't sit and wait for the kid to explode at the other parents home! That is stupid....
Aidan is too drama queen/family dude.
Revive Big he wasn't taken Carrie too serious and that how things worked between them for years.
These two have zero chemistry. Hahaha! This Aidan storyline is as ridiculous as the rest of the script!! Why not a hot new guy that she never dated or cheated on before!!!??
Because she's over 50 and not hot anymore, if ever?
Even Charlotte can't pretend she ain't over 50 anymore, and she's the hottest of the bunch...
Any "hot new guy" will have his pick and will never go for Carrie when he can have 20 year olds...
Daamn!!!
😂@@el_killorcure
Because Carrie thinks only two men can love her 😅

So, Aiden allowed her to ditch her old apartment and buy this super-fancy new place for them and then says all this, a nanosecond later?
Karma
Oh well she deserved it
Just like she allowed him to buy her apartment and the apartment next door.
Maybe it's all his revenge 😂
@@benfisher1376 I bet it is plain vindictiviness from his side
If you need to be around your teenage kids so much that you can't afford to have a romantic relationship, not even a long-distance relationship, the right thing to do is to get some PROFESSIONAL HELP. Not to cutt off your partner for the next 5 years.
Thank you!
yeah, that makes no sense!
@@lisawentworth6831Nor if your partner is Carrie (cheater and string along).
Anyone who would ever think of being in a relationship with a selfish, self-centered narcissist like Carrie after being strung along and cheated on needs a lobotomy anyway.
I completely agree. The writing is so god damn trash
He’s asking a 56 year old woman (is that right) to wait FIVE years for him? That is such bullshit. Be a real man, Aidan, and set her free.
And also -- it is completely pathetic to blame his ex-wife for all the boy's problems. Aidan himself was traveling for business in the second movie!!!!
He’s not wrong. Kids become priority when u have them. It’s normal
@@shailt310 There's nothing wrong with prioritizing one's children. I know, I've got a child. But asking Carrie to just wait around, with apparently little to no contact, for five years, is ridiculous. She'll be over 60 when and IF Aidan decides he still wants her.
And it's not exactly teaching Wyatt realistic life-coping skills for Aidan to have absolutely no other life while he's taking care of him. If anything, that's just teaching Wyatt that he can use bad behavior to force his father to be his crutch. "Ha ha," he can tell himself, "got rid of that girlfriend!"
Wyatt is NOT going to be well-prepared to fend for himself at what Aidan seems to think is the magically mature age of 20. He's more likely to be highly dependent and try some truly self-destructive stunt to keep his dad tied to him.
@@heatherhoward8064I agree, he is not saying that unfortunely he won’t be around too much because he needs to focus more on his kid, he is cutting contact completely and saying he will be back years later. Lol. That’s not even healthy for his kid. She offered to be more on the farm. He didn’t want a solution. And no one can predict the future, who says his son won’t need him later down the line again? They are in different paths of life, reunited, they can decide to stay together and make it work or just realize that it is not possible but to promise a future relationship to a future 60 ish old woman is the definition of crazy.
Traveling for business _and_ trying to cheat on his wife with Carrie 🙄
Every man blames the X
As aidan son is neither an infant or mentally or physically challenged, that 5 yr nonsense proposal is his revenge plan .
😂😂😂😂
Yeah he didn't want Carrie involved with his children at all
Yes, he was so cunning and evil, and poor Carrie never had a clue.
LMFAO a man asking a woman to wait for him for 5 years is insulting. No woman should sit around and wait for any man.
The fact that he went back to her after the shit she did to him was insulting.

Sorry but if this was Aidans revenge he really needs a hobby, seems like hes still holding onto resentment for Carrie. He needs to get over the past, this is ridiculous
I see no resentment here

Now, he wasn’t. Stop throwing kids under a bus.
"I would be thinking about nothing else but you" "I have been only thinking about you alll these years" Really Aiden?
He’s not showing that!
What about his wife
That “solution” is stupid. Aidan your kid won’t stop having problems at 20 and you have your own life, he can still put his children first while having a girlfriend.
Aiden needs to move on from Carrie. They might have great chemistry but she is a toxic poison to him. He can't resist her and she brings out the worst part of him (Very rarely but the pain she has caused him clearly shows up). He is not his best self around her. This is a god awful way to write him out of the show.
I watched all episodes except for this last part (long story) so I came on here to see if i could find it. Holy shit. He wants her to wait 5 years for him?! That's insanity. You can tell I'm not a parent bc my immediate reaction is: Carrie, love yourself more. Ditch him.
why they don't have a relation online/distance, if they wanna be and try to be together, they'll share ideas or plans, that is what a real couple do and more at their age.
Finally guy had his revenge
He did. This is what guys do wether they realize it or not. They say sometimes you truly can't have them unless they do this "all on their own". ❤❤❤
And he’s a dick for doing so.
A show that knows they shouldn’t have killed Mr. Big
This is ridiculous! Five years?! Does he realize how old he and Carrie really are?! At some point you can’t put your entire life on hold for your kids. Aidan could compromise and work out his relationship with Carrie, but he doesn’t want too. Speaks volumes about his priorities and balance. I think he really still resents her for breaking up with him, and I get that. They really shouldn’t have gotten back together. Oh, and they way that she dresses at her age is just dumb. Tacky and dumb. The writing on this show is AWFUL.
Ikr Carrie should be focusing on her own empire adopting a dog something and then if she is still in mourning have a lil bit of eye candy to keep her company but not anything serious let Aidan be he was the past this writing come on ladies do better..
Why slut shaming why 😢 let women wear what they want pleeeeease
Aidan never did forgive her for Big. This is his revenge. Love is not revenge. She can do better.
She can do better? Bro 😂 she cheated on HIM 😂 he is a dad putting his kid first wtf r u talking about 😂
Putting your kids first is revenge now?
Not sure what any of the men in either of these series were supposed to see in Carrie once they got to know her for more than 5 minutes....she was and is the worst.
Then why do you watch?

And its her turn to say "are we back here again?"...5 years... hahaha 🤣🤣🤣 yea no thanks bro..cya 👋👋
I was enraged when I saw this. Enraged. It's just...too much to get into, but this was the dumbest, silliest finale ever.
Its great that they got back together. Its like you can feel they were so in love more than before, but back then, she wasn't ready. He was and he had no choice but to go away. They were in a difficult place this time, finally on the same page (they both agreed that they were on the same page, both single and free to see each other).. Then they bought a place to live together. Everything was looking so great between them...Then the writers for this show, made Aidan leave again! How ridiculous to have them be together again for good and someone, probably the guy running this show, decided to make Aidan leave again. I can't see it on whatever movie channel this is on, I just see short episode clips on youtube! Lol.. Other people have made comments in how this show, "And Just Like That", has bad writers. I truly believe that! But John Corbett is still so good looking! I've been a fan of his since he was on Northern Exposure! ❤😊
John is gorge. Great in my big fat greek wedding too. Agree with your comment, they were coming together for a happy storyline ffs
WHY could she not move with him, and go to NY on the weekends? Baffling story-line. She hardly needs to work and could do her radio shows via Zoom.
Because this show sucks. It was written by people who never bothered to watch the original. This show never should have happened. . it is SO BAD.
Because he really didn’t want to be with her and just threw up an excuse
Wasn’t he also traveling while having kids in sex & the city 2nd movie?
Yeah, and kissing Carrie.. he is not the good guy everyone says
Geriatric in the City… at some point I hope these characters grow up. The back and forth isn’t cute anymore for people of their advanced age lol
But Aiden still looks 20yrs younger than Carrie. She’s headed to a care facility next.
I mean if growing up is never fucking up again then that's just not going to happen. Humans make mistakes and always will until the day we die. To expect people to miraculously never be messy or go through things then you're asking for people ot be perfect.
Not again, noooooo Aiden. This is heartbreaking
It's only 5 years people could die life is short!!! I don't agree with aiden...focus on ur kid but carrie can still visit...
one thing i learned from dealing with a guy who was focused on his daughters....dont EXPECT to be in his life as u would put him....especially if ur child or children are grown.....i am not saying Aiden was doing this but i know men who use their children to lie ...so ladies pay attention...Aiden is a rare gem i always liked the way they wrote his character....not alot of men out here like him!!!
This is utter bullshit. Wyatt has serious problems and what Aidan thinks that at the magical age of 20 they'll go away? He's also setting an example to the kid here that he'll give up everything and come running when he acts out. Wyatt didn't want Carrie and he just got rid of her.
I hate kids. Thank God I never had any.
They're all grown up now. ❤ We love them so much ❤
I totally get a parent putting their child first but it was completely wrong for him to ask her to wait 5 years for him. Especially teenagers when they reach the ages 16-19. They are going to want to be with their friends. I did not like this plot ending.
Aidan ain't as good as he appears on the surface. He's just off to bed younger chicks and using Carrie as a safety net. See you in 5 years. You kidding.
This made NO SENSE. Why even get them together again for this tripe.?!
Don't date people with kids if you don't want to be prioritized beneath them. It's just the way it's going to be if the kids aren't yours. Period. The end.
Wait for 5 years????? You got me f’d up😂. Girl you still look good, got money, and no kids! Find you a new man!
When she’s 60. Almost right in time to start collecting Social Security lol. So dumb.
Hahaha this series is so bad, it should just stop.
This is the worst writing an idea I have ever heard in my life. Are you f****** kidding me
Sad to age but not mature.
Carrie is still the same unreliable cheater and Aidan clearly knows it hence this polite and not too obvious "F off".
And just like that Carrie was single once again, Aiden was never right for Carrie because he wanted Carrie to change say what you will but Big never try to change Carrie
This was written by people a) with zero experience with patchwork; b) on shrooms; or c) with a really low opinion of the audience's standards. "Wait for five years. Your life passing you by means nothing. It will go by so fast anyway! I love you so."
Aiden is putting his sons first.restored his jilted ego from Big..End of story.
So is she going to buy back her apartment again?
hahaha that poor apartment
I hope she does 😅.
Carrie is selfish she will be over it in less than a year with someone new
Never date a guy with kids.
Carrie has always been selfish. And this is one of worst written scenes ever on this show.
All you needed to add to that sentiment is "Run, Aidan - RUN! And never look back."

Only 5 years and we are in our 60s. Time to go.
All I hear from her is “ you’re picking your kid over me”
Just think Carrie could of had Aidan all to herself,but we all know how she messed that up. Now Aiden has luggage and it’s heavy. Part of me really wanted it to see it work out.
This is him breaking up with her. He isnt emotionally available.
I don’t like Carrie, she’s a narcissist.
With kids, it’s ALWAYS going to be something, the issues don’t go away just because they turn 18. This storyline is weird
Carrie dodged a bullet. A real man can manage his family and his relationship, especially if the intentions are to turn the relationship into being a part of his family.
He was way too sweet with Carrie in this breakup... Although it is a silly proposal, Carrie did not deserve that sweetness!
This is why I don’t date men with kids… I’ve said thanks but no thanks to many guys who have kids. I have dated those guys with baggages, it’s annoying and honestly I don’t want to hear about his kid this and that. Not my kids either, especially the grown kids. I chose not to have kids. Why I want to hear about his kids?! Don’t care how sexy or charming he may be, guys with kids are NOT datable. We need a man who can put us first. If a guy has even one kid that occupies his mind all the time he’s not ready for a relationship of any kind. Guys with baggage aren’t datable.

@@andreacasey4454kids are ppl, not baggage. Not even close to the same thing
Asking someone to wait for five years when the characters are nearly 60 is nuts. Why in the world would the writers make Aiden this much of a flake? Either include Carrie in your plans or tell her to move on.
So Aiden waited while she went back and forth, that is how he got his children and Wife!
I know it’s not the point in the story but parents should realize how much damage divorce does to a child’s mental well being. Even if they look ok and act ok, that doesn’t mean they are.
His kid was acting out. This is what they do when a parent is living their life outside of their teen children... Yes, put your kids first. ALWAYS!
but this kid was screaming for attention. The reason this pissed me off is bc the mom has her husband/boyfriend.. Whatever. But dad isnt allowed to date? That is wild to me. Sometimes, you need to explain to your children that once theyre out of the house, mom ans dad are going to have their own lives. Theyre still teens, yes.. But pretty soon, VERY soon, they will be living their own lives. i dont think this was fair for Aiden to do to Carrie..
Couldn’t bring myself to watch this reboot after reading Samantha wasn’t coming back. Then to hear Aiden came back after the way she treated him was the icing on the cake. He was always too good for her and she never deserved him. Had to watch this clip though as told her he was leaving. Too bad it was only because of his son and not because he finally woke up.
But here you are.
Carrie is not necessarily attractive, but she has enough money to get a cub instead of this aging single father that she already cheated on multiple times!! New guys in town. Don't need to recycle.
I’m sorry but this whole storyline was stupid. Aidan comes back to her after two awful breakups where she broke his heart both times. He would be running the other way!! Then he asks her to wait for him for five years! Ok. Sure.
Carrie getting what she deserved 😂 after all the hell she put Aidan through, this is reasonable
This whole scene did not make sense to me. You are telling me that I cannot come see you even when your children are with their mother. That writing just makes no sense with his character.
5 years, 5 winters, 5 Christmases... Aidan better returned earlier.. Carrie's already a bag of mess, she won't last to a month
Aiden is someone who is convenient for Carrie he's a great guy, great in bed, he is settled down and knows what he wants and im so happy he's absolutely putting himself first! He should never be Honorable Mention!
thank you Carrie for not making me think I was a selfish cow… thats you girl!!!
People forget that Aiden knew Carrie was still in love with her ex.
She’s showing that she’s never had that family love
She's empty
wtf is the 5 years gonna do? wyatt can end up dying on fent at 22, 30, 40, there is no "safe" age.
They don’t make each other happy. It’s just a pattern they can’t get out of. Move on.
She chose another man. He’s in the right to choose his family
Carrie blew it when she cheated on him the first time, then blew it again when she told Aiden I’m not cutting out Big out of her life the 2nd time. Seriously she has shown that at the next chance to leave him, she will. She is not a family person, she has no kids and never wanted. Has his character ever come across as a guy that goes out 3 to 4 times a week out in Manhattan life?
This is always why I have thought Carrie is the absolute worst character
Carrie cares more about her shoes than Aidan kids.....
Good for Aidan. Right decision. Carrie just doesn’t get it. She could’ve had it a beautiful life and family with him but she chose an empty romance instead. Now she’s alone. Being 60 with your girlfriends as your soulmates is no bueno.
Nonsense .... 5 years 🙈
Carrie: cut and run
Personally, AJLT is such s ridiculous show. I wonder if the actors themselves enjoy doing this show. Carrie leaves Aidan for Big and then begs for forgiveness, then ends up marrying Big (who leaves her at the altar), forgives him for the millionth time, only to eventually end up with Aiden after Big's death. Oh wait, now Aiden tells her to wait for him. This whole show is generally unwatchable.
This woman needs to be alone.
Aiden's five years is guilt ...and while shitty parents have amazing kids and vice versa ( using broad terms here people) Aiden contributed to his sons circumstance ( as did his wife and just life shit) - Aiden is catastrophizing and being triggered about his own shit.
