And yet, we all remained somewhat confidant that eventually, there would be a solution that would allow them to come back together and live out the rest of their days in their palatial Manhattan townhouse as planned, before Aidan's son Wyatt threw the mother of all spanners into the works.
With Wyatt away at a wilderness camp for the week, Aidan hotfooted it to New York, a rare treat in these most trying of times. But on his arrival, he accidentally smashed one of Carrie's windows after trying and failing to channel Romeo in fair Verona, and then spent his entire stay trying to find a replacement for what turned out to be an exceedingly rare type of glass that doesn't simply grow on trees.
It quickly became clear, however, that his guilt over breaking her window and his determination to fix it was masking a much more serious misstep and eventually, he came clean.
"It was a mistake, we both said so, and it will never, ever happen again. It wont," he said, clearly furious with himself, and deeply concerned about the impact of his "betrayal" on Carrie.
"I understand how that could happen," she said, seemingly less upset about this than she was about the dining table she thought she'd lost out on, before Aidan gifted it to her.
Maybe she's decided to give him a pass after cheating on him with Big all those years ago, or maybe she's cutting Aidan some slack after witnessing Wyatt's troubling behaviour during her trip to Virgina.
The jury's out!
"We agreed to wait for each other and I slept with someone else," said Aidan, who appeared determined not to let himself off the hook.
"That's what you agreed to and even you couldn't do it."

But while Carrie assured Aidan that she has no desire to mess around with other people, just him, the rules of the game have now changed – and, we should note, this latest development has coincided with Carrie finally managing to crack the steely exterior of her downstairs neighbour, the acclaimed biographer Duncan Reeves, who is now cooking mutton stew for her and asking her to read the first chapter of his upcoming book on the Iron Lady.
We know from the season 3 trailer that Miranda picks up on "a little vibe" between them during an upcoming gathering, and on another occasion, when Carrie describes Duncan as a "writing partner", Seema questions if "he could be more".
Of course, this isn't the end for Carrie and Aidan. They're both still invested in one another, although Aidan's recent mistake could give one a different impression, and in the words of Take That, they've come so far and they've reached so high.
Is that mutton we can smell?
