Upon first glance, Berger appeared to be Carrie’s perfect match. The sex columnist seemed so sure of Berger that she was willing to ignore some serious red flags from the novelist. Despite Carrie’s attempts to make the relationship work, Berger broke her heart in the coldest way possible. He ended their romance on <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/sex-and-the-city-infamous-post-it-breakup-arc-is-based-on-a-true-romantic-failure.html/”>a Post-It note</a>. Now, fans are taking a closer look at their fictional courtship and have spied an odd detail that foreshadowed their breakup. </p>

<p id=”par-3_60″>While their relationship, in the grand scheme of things, was pretty bland, their breakup was epic. After a brief pause, the pair got back together, only for Berger to leave Carrie’s apartment in the middle of the night. He ended the relationship on a Post-It note that he stuck to Carrie’s computer. He was never seen or heard from again. </p>

<p id=”par-5_109″>A <a href=”https://www.reddit.com/r/sexandthecity/comments/1c90vyp/only_just_noticed_in_s06_e02_burger_is_fiddling/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Reddit </a>user pointed out that the infamous note is not the first time Post-Its were featured in Carrie and Berger’s relationship. In season 6, episode 2, Carrie and Jack attempted to take their relationship to the next level, with pretty disastrous results. During a phone call, Berger is seen lying on his bed. The fan noted that he was absentmindedly playing with a pack of Post-Its during the chat. The top note has a message scrawled on it. While the Post-It Berger is holding doesn’t contain the infamous <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/the-actor-who-plays-kathy-in-and-just-like-that-has-ties-to-another-sex-and-the-city-actor.html/”>“I’m sorry. I can’t. Don’t hate me.” </a>message, the memo pertains to Carrie. Carrie’s phone number is on the top sticky note. </p>

<p id=”par-6_55″>It seems Carrie and Berger’s relationship was never supposed to work out. While the Post-It connection is certainly interesting, it’s not the only hint early in the couple’s courtship that things wouldn’t work out. While most of Carrie’s relationships failed, the early goings of her courtships were usually pretty smooth. Things with Berger never were. </p>

<p id=”par-7_54″>Berger’s hatred for his ex-girlfriend was the biggest red flag, followed by his sensitivity to criticism. Their petty spats also didn’t bode well for their long-term compatibility. Considering how things ended, it seems unlikely that fans will see Berger return in <em>And Just Like That…</em> although<a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/sex-and-the-citys-middle-age-jack-berger-might-spicy-storyline-just-like-that-needs.html/”> fans wouldn’t be against it</a> if he did show up. </p>
