<P> During the second movie , Carrie and Big 's passion has waned . Carrie begins to feel that their marriage has lost its `` sparkle '' as Big enjoys spending nights eating in and watching TV . Carrie feels the urge to escape to her old apartment for two days to meet a writing deadline and enjoy some time to herself , and is surprised when Big picks her up for dinner , and feels the romance re-enter their marriage . Big then suggests to Carrie they spend two days a week apart , to enjoy their own time , which he feels is what is giving their marriage new life . Carrie , somewhat hurt and resistant , reluctantly agrees , and then travels to Abu Dhabi with Samantha , Charlotte and Miranda . While in Abu Dhabi , Carrie learns how important a marriage can be when her butler tells her how he is separated from his wife for months at a time , but when they see each other , nothing else matters . Carrie also reunites with her old flame , Aidan Shaw , whom she meets in a chance encounter at an Abu Dhabi market . Carrie feels distressed due to a bad review of her new book in the New Yorker , and meets Aidan for dinner . The two of them reconnect , and briefly kiss . Carrie immediately regrets it and asks her friends for advice on whether to tell Big . Samantha and Miranda both advise Carrie not to tell Big because it was a minor incident , but Carrie feels too guilty to let it slide and tells Big immediately . Big is hurt , and Carrie worries that Big will go from wanting two days off , to seven days off . Upon Carrie 's arrival back in New York , she is upset that Big does n't pick her up at the airport as originally planned , is n't home and has n't called . That night , he gets home and Carrie and Big talk about their marriage . Big tells Carrie to stop worrying that they will become a tired , boring old married couple , and they take new wedding vows for each other . Big forgives Carrie and gives her a black diamond ring ( to make up for his unromantic marriage proposal - without a ring - 3 years earlier ) to really show the world she 's off the market . As their marriage grows out of the `` terrible twos '' Big and Carrie seem very happy and relaxed with each other . Now that they are both making an effort , and due to the ring Big gave her , they have their `` sparkle '' back . </P>
