How to Treat Mr. Big Syndrome

A Look Back About My Experience with My Mr. Big and How I Got Over It

A few months back myself out of the "Mr. Big Syndrome" and I'm glad I did. I recommend the younger you are to get yourself out of this syndrome the better off you are. Trust me, you will be better off but I have to warn you, it's really hard to do. The idea of letting go of a guy is not easy to do especially if you're a college student. My time during college was pretty rough because I was transferring schools and trying find a good balance between school, work, and friends—and him.

But before I go on any further—what is the "Mr. Big" Syndrome? Well to give a background, Mr. Big is a character from "Sex and the City" who our main character, Carrie Bradshaw has been chasing from the first episode to the last. They've been dating off and on for five years and at some point Mr. Big gets married to another woman 10 years younger than her but Carrie is still after him. Mr. Big's marriage ends due to his affair with Carrie. Since lots of women out there can relate to Carrie Bradshaw, they think if she can wait around and get the man they want to come back to her, so can they. I use to believe in that too...

"Mr. Big" syndrome came from an article I read from Yahoo! Astrology and this author defines it the idea women have when they hold on the hope that their "ex-boyfriends will realize that thye are they 'the one.' Lovelorn women cling on desperately to the belief that their "Mr. Big" will come back to them. Marry them. And change."
