Initially indifferent to 'Sex and the City,' the writer discovered a profound connection with Charlotte's storyline. As her relationship faltered, parallels emerged between her reality and the show's candid exploration of intimacy. Her boyfriend's disinterest paralleled themes of sexual repression depicted in the series, prompting a deeper reflection on her feelings of rejection and isolation. This led her to watch the show more frequently, using it to navigate her emotional struggles and assess the complexities of her own relationship.
The show dramatised the uncomfortable, shameful parts of a relationship like I'd never seen before on TV.
I told myself what was happening between us was a natural progression out of the honeymoon stage, but it hurt me deeply every time I tried to be affectionate.
