And Just Like That Season 3: Why Carrie and Aidan’s Breakup Was Actually Great

Let’s be real—Carrie and Aidan’s on-again, off-again drama got old fast. After years of 'what if?' and 'should we try again?', Season 3 just... ended it. And honestly? We’re all breathing a sigh of relief. The show finally stopped pretending their relationship was healthy. No more 'we’re just friends' nonsense. They cut the cord, and it’s the best thing that’s happened to the show in years.

Remember when every time they got close, it’d spiral into the same old fights? The passive-aggressive texts, the 'I’m not jealous' lies, the way they’d both keep running back? Season 3 didn’t sugarcoat it. It showed how their old habits—like Carrie ghosting Aidan after the 'I’m not ready' talk—were just toxic repeats. They finally called it out: 'This isn’t working. We’ve done this before.' And that’s why it’s a win.

The Real Reason It Works

This isn’t about 'who’s right.' It’s about the show finally growing up. Carrie’s been stuck in the past for too long, chasing the idea of Aidan instead of seeing who he really is now. Aidan’s been waiting for her to 'get it' while ignoring his own needs. Season 3 didn’t make either of them villains. It just said, 'Hey, you both deserve better.' And honestly? That’s the kind of honesty we’ve been begging for.

What This Means for the Rest of the Show

The best part? It opens the door for new stuff. No more 'will they/won’t they' drama. No more dragging out a relationship that’s clearly over. Now the show can focus on Carrie actually growing—like, you know, figuring out what *she* wants instead of waiting for Aidan to fix her. It’s messy, real, and way more interesting than the old cycle. And if you’ve been tired of watching the same arguments replay, you’ll finally feel like you’re watching something new.

So yeah, Carrie and Aidan are done. And the show’s better for it. No more 'what if'—just real talk about moving forward. If you’ve been rolling your eyes at their drama for years, this is the moment you’ve been waiting for. The show finally got it right.
