‘Sex and the City’: In Defense of Trey MacDougal

Over the course of six seasons, the ladies of Sex and the City dated many men who were less than ideal. Admittedly some were worse than others. While it was easy to spot the true duds of the series, a couple of men don’t deserve all the hate they get. Charlotte York’s first husband, Trey MacDougal, wasn’t nearly as bad as some Sex and the City characters. Trey was downright pleasant most of the time, especially compared to some other men in Charlotte’s life. It’s time to defend Trey MacDougal.

Trey MacDougal was manipulated into marriage 

Trey wasn’t a great husband. That much is a fact, but he was aware enough to admit exactly why that was eventually. It took some time, but he came clean and admitted that he never really wanted to get married in the first place. After all, Charlotte manipulated him into proposing at breakneck speed because of her desire to join the marriage club.
