Do Tell: What Sex and the City Relationship Do You Most Identify With?

By now, many of you have probably seen Sex and the City on the big screen, so you know how things turn out for Carrie and Big, Steve and Miranda, Charlotte and Harry, and Samantha and Smith. But those are only a few of the many relationships we witnessed over the course of the series.

No matter what type of person you are, you can probably see one or two of your relationships (past or present) mirrored by the couples on the show. Have you ever have a bad breakup like Carrie and Berger's (the infamous Post-It)? Did you date someone with a meddlesome mother like Charlotte did with Trey? Did you, like Samantha, once get rid of a guy because he wasn't well-endowed?

Even if you haven't seen the movie yet, tell me: What Sex and the City relationship do you most identify with and why? What past or present relationship of yours matches up with a relationship on the show?

    I never really thought about it, but I did a quiz and it said I was like Carrie.

    I'm most like Miranda, I guess--cynical about love & maybe a little mean. Although, my boyfriend is nothing like Steve. I can't think of any guy she dated that would be like my boyfriend, so there's really no relationship I identify with. Carrie is too drama-queen for me, Charlotte is too traditional, and Samantha is, um, just too much.

    I'd say I'm most like Miranda (took one of those tests, that's who I got)

    But, relationship wise, I'm Carrie. I have the Mr. Big. I really do. Lord....

    I really can't relate to any of the female characters; I'm very relaxed with relationships and don't over-think or over-analyze.

    I'd say Carrie and Big. It's one of those relationships that even through all of the worst times it's hard for anyone but YOU to understand why you stick around.

    I'm hardly cynical like Miranda and I would never change anything like religion to be with a man. If you can't accept me as I am, peace out. Compromise is one thing, change is another.

    I had a marriage sort of like Charlotte and Trey with a very meddlesome mother. I'm divorced him and moved on. Now I have a Carrie/Big thing going on, sort of anyway. He's afraid to get married.

    Aiden, cause I've cheated in all of my PAST (not current!) relationships and it screws things up terribly.

    Miranda. I am cynical and can be a bit harsh. While my boyfriend's not dopey like Steve and is more ambitious, he's the sweet, nice, slightly goofy guy that's my perfect foil.

    I have a spot on (for the series, thankfully not movie too) Miranda/Steve thing going. I've always been a huge cynic but really let the guard down with my current guy. He just has a way of seeing through my 'tough' sh*t into what I really am...

    Ok that was disgustingly sweet...good thing he doesn't check out this site Eye-wink

    I agree with Aimeeb. My most recent relationship was definitely a Carrie/Big. All of my friends thought that I should get out of it, and while we had our fair share of problems, I thought that he was worth staying with and nobody understood why I stayed with him except for me. Now we've broken up and like Carrie and Big find it hard to stay away from each other even though he is engaged, like Big, and we're working on being friends...

    Well, personally I'm more like Samantha. Love sex, very open minded, "try-sexual" etc etc but my relationship is like Carrie and Aiden's except I have no intentions of f*cking it up, theres no cheating here just totally weird perfection.

    I was SO mad at Carrie for hurting Aiden like that and throwing away such an amazing man, I dont plan on making her mistakes, ever.

    I've had a relationship like Carrie and Big's before. And just like the show, he was a big shot; nice car, nice clothes, everything. We must have f*cked it up so many times but still went back for more I guess. Even when we finally decided to be just friends there was still that little something that couldn't really be described and understood by other friends. We've lost touch but everyone still refers to him as Big. Haha.

    I indentify more with Carrie personally, even though my fave character is Samantha, but relationship-wise none of them fit ours.

    I'm a mixture of Miranda and Carrie. I have a Steve/Big and it's actually working out for us. Of course we had our fair share of drama but love really does conquer all Smiling I guess that's a little bit Charlotte

    I guess Charlotte's and Harry's relationship...none are really like my relationship with my husband, but this would be the closest.

    Charlotte and Harry because once we knew we loved each other he was always there for me and everything was so perfect and we really love each other.

    Michael is my Big... he causes me so much heart ache and pain yet I can't let him go. He has a major commitment and I wouldn't put him past me to leave me at the alter. And Mike is the successful man with the new mercedes, the $6,000 watch...takes me to $300 dinners, but doesn't seem to understand the value of the simple things in a relationship. Like communication. Oh and Mike moved away quite like Big's Move to Napa Valley. Maybe we can make it through... who knows, I'm just waiting for him to grow up...

    Personally I'm just like Samantha in terms of how adventurous I can be Eye-wink, except I wouldn't ever give up such a wonderful man who loved me. My relationship is a combination of Carrie/Aiden, from what he *doesn't* know, and Charlotte and Harry from what he knows. I'm hoping to fix my Carrie/Aiden situation and make a fresh start without him ever finding out.

    I think my boyfriend and I are most like Samantha and Richard (minus the cheating:)
    I feel like they were the most equally-matched of any couple on the show. The closest thing to a power couple. It's interesting that such a "feminist" show never had a real egalitarian relationship.
    Big was richer than Carrie, Charlotte was more attractive than Harry, Miranda made more money than Steve, Smith was more childish than Samantha. It would be nice to have a couple that was equally attractive, successful, intelligent. Ooh, I think I just found my HBO pilot, lol

    I think that before I was in a relationship I was more like Samantha/Miranda. Many oneliners that came from Samantha or Miranda I had either thought or said myself. Nowadays i see myself more like carrie and relating to what she says and what she has gone through.

    Definitely Miranda/Steve. I am very cynical and never trusted guys but let my guard down (for the first time!) with my current boyfriend. He is the nice guy that I didn't take seriously but fell for after a while. It's pretty much dead on. I even pick out clothes for him (with him getting mad of course!!!) haha

    I did a quiz that said I was most like Carrie. But my fiance is more like Aidan. A sweet teddy bear that would never hurt me. And he is good with his hands/construction and he actualy wants to redo our floors into hardwood! I like going out and being social, and he is more of a homebody. But I would never cheat on him like Carrie did to Aidan.

    Carrie and Aiden, definitely. The guy I'm dating is a good guy and all, but I still have that urge for the bad boy - my version of Mr. Big, and he's moving back into town. Great...
