Let's talk about the Netflix drama "Sex/Life" that shocked many people this weekend. At first, I didn't think there was much to say. In the end, I felt a lot more.
The first three episodes felt like a cliché plot with Pxxn, almost no plot. Basically it's a constant comparison between the passionate memories of once with an ex-boyfriend and the real life of being a housewife at home. Passion scenes are still very interesting. Later, I learned that the two actors who play the heroine and ex-boyfriend are also a couple in real life.
But after a few episodes, I felt that the heroine still woke up from the "fantasy" and realized a lot of truth. It is true that many married women may have a deep understanding, and even were touched by her for a time.
Like You can't have it all , at least not at the same time . Sometimes have it all is too much . 85% is already the best you can have . That 15% can cause you lose it all .
It's a bit like a talk show I heard before about finding a husband: a comfortable and stable life, a stable personality, and exciting sex/life, it is enough for the other party to have two of the three, don't delusionally occupy all three.
The heroine herself also realized that you can have all three, but not necessarily at the same time. You can have different content at different stages of your life. You had wild sxx in your 20s , now you have a happy family. With luck, isn't it a bit greedy to have it all the time or both? The heroine also realized that she should shift her energy to her work and studies, and not allow herself time to think wildly. It was like seeing the rebirth of a housewife.
In the end, I didn't expect this ending.... I still ran straight to my ex-boyfriend.
It can only be said that such a woman is really not suitable for a stable family life, more like Carrie in "sxx and the city". She is not suitable for Aiden, only suitable for Mr Big, otherwise she will be restless for three days. However, the heroine of the show just married someone like Aiden and became a "happy woman" in the eyes of others, but it was not the life she wanted, so she could only be unwilling. Most women may not be able to understand. After all, the family and husband owned by the heroine are what many women yearn for, but this shows that everyone wants something different, not the life that others like, and you will like it.
From the very beginning, the heroine has always struggled between "she in the eyes of others" and "my inner self". The costumes of this play have also been hinting at the heroine's true temperament. She especially likes to wear bright pink and red clothes, she likes excitement and adventure, nightlife, and fresh and interesting big city life. But could she become a housewife just because she found Prince Charming? Some people think that when they get married, they can "naturally" grow up and become another person, from a crazy girl who likes stimulation to a good wife and good mother. She also pretended to work hard at first, bluffing everyone, but in the end it can be seen that some people will not be completely changed because of having children and growing older, at most it is temporary depression and flattery. Most of the time, what restrains her is only the eyes of others, but sooner or later she still has to face her true temperament.
In any case, the show has some truths: The person who can give you a sense of security won't be the one who will give you an exciting life, you have to choose one. Don't be too greedy.
The person who gives you all that security can't be the same person who gives you the thrill.
