When And just like that…the sex and the city reboot, premiering on HBO Max, fans were thrilled to see Charlotte York and Harry Goldenblatt still happily married. Harry might have been the perfect match for her, but he wasn’t Charlotte’s only husband. In season 3 of sex and the city, Charlotte married Trey MacDougal. The marriage was unlucky. While it’s easy to blame the finicky doctor for the breakdown of the marriage, it was Charlotte who took the biggest blame, if you think about it.
Charlotte Manipulated Trey MacDougal into Marrying Her on ‘Sex and the City’ Season 3
When Charlotte met Trey after she fell in front of his cab, she became convinced that it was fate. At that point, she Charlotte would have convinced herself that any man she met she was her soul mate if she had a warm enough smile and high enough net worth. She was determined to get married before the year was out and Trey was too easy to exploit.
Charlotte was to blame for the demise of her first marriage because she manipulated Trey into joining in the first place. The moment she discovered that a simple pat on the wrist could make Trey do anything she said, she used it to get a proposal out of her.
Later, when Trey admitted that he never really wanted to get married, she absorbed the information and still pushed to get back to the apartment. Trey should have been more assertive and communicated better. That’s obvious. Still, Charlotte was manipulative. luckily for sex and the city fans and Charlotte, the marriage eventually led her to Harry.
Charlotte never stopped to ask Trey how he was feeling.
Trey was an accomplished doctor. He excelled in his field of study, but he wasn’t exactly a strong personality. Instead of controlling her emotionally closed off husband, Charlotte used her more subdued nature against him at almost every turn.
In fact, once they got back together, Charlotte just assumed that Trey was on board with everything she wanted and never bothered to run things for him. Charlotte decided to explore adoption when fertility treatments weren’t working for them. Her thought process was solid, but her bringing it up to Trey as an afterthought was pretty brutal.
When you really think about it, Trey wasn’t a bad guy. He wanted Charlotte to be happy. He tried to make it happen. Trey was even a gentleman during his divorce. Simply put, Trey and Charlotte were incompatible. While they’re both to blame for not realizing it, if she hadn’t pushed him into marriage so quickly, they probably would have found out before they got to the altar.
