      Well duuh. You dont have a fight with your girlfriend and in 2 hours you are touching someone else’s private parts…

      She is right. Completely right.

      When you read the lawsuit that was filed about the Friends writers room, it really makes sense how awful Ross was as a boyfriend.  He was super controlling and his needs were always put ahead of hers.  To this day it drives me crazy that the (spoiler) series ended with Rachel giving up her dream job to stay with Ross instead of him going with her, and the casual misogyny of it never even being discussed.

      This is pretty much how I always viewed it, I dont really think it matters if they were together or not. He was a dogass boyfriend and needed to be dumped.

      IMO, they were on a break AND they were a terrible couple that were bad for each other.

      She’s right.

      Ross: I thought our relationship was dead!
      Rachel: Well, you sure had a hell of a time at the wake!

      One of my favorite lines from the show lol

      It’s my everlasting opinion Joey and Rachel should have ended up together and that Ross and Rachel didn’t last

      This clip is part of why Jimmy irritates me. The audience literally was more interesting and expressed way more of an opinion here than he ever did. Then he goes, “this is what I’m here for” YOU DIDN’T DO ANYTHING, JAMES.

      I don’t like this revisionism. They were on a break. Ross was shitty before and after said break but the break was there.

      In my opinion, they were on a break AND Ross shouldn’t have slept with someone immediately then try to hide it from Rachel after they got back together. Team Rachel all the way, she should’ve never taken back Ross or given up Paris for him.

      He was creepy and an awful boyfriend. One of those guys who think they deserve a girl just because he really liked her.

      I’ve been watching the show from the start after not seeing it for 10 or so years and his behavior was terrible. I can’t believe people thought they deserved to be together. Like when he wrote the pros and cons list and said she was just a waitress. That is stuff you do alone then destroy, not with mutual friends!

      Okay, even if they were on a break….if your partner is in a place where they can immediately go sleep with someone else within hours…you shouldn’t be together.

    16. brigyda on

      I agree. They were having an argument and Rachel blurted those words out in the heat of the moment, where Ross decided to dip, leaving the discussion unfinished. There was no mutual, verbal agreement to a break.

      But even if they had been on a break, yeah, he’s pathetic for putting their relationship in a rocky position in the first place and having his “woe is me” decisions that followed.

      Good grief the amount of people going “but Rachel had Mark over the apartment” are red flags. Ross’ insecurities are his own and the reason they argued. She is not responsible for keeping his insecurities in check, that’s *his* responsibility.

    17. annoyinghuman03 on

      People get so mad when I mention how they, realistically, should have never gotten back together because he’s a terrible partner

    18. DenialisaRiver04 on

      Ross was a horrific boyfriend and etc…but he had the funniest episodes/scenes out of everyone. Ross and Phoebe were the only two chracters I actually laughed at when they were on screen.

    21. NtGermanBtKnow1WhoIs on

      YES. YES! Part of the reason why i hated Ross was simply bcuz he was a bad boyfriend. He had a marriage and this and that oh… Such a messy man. Never sat right with me that he still got Rachel after allllll of that. 

    23. skulltullamama on

      Hot take, Rachel and Joey made way more sense. Joey is loyal, not controlling, and they had so much FUN together. Rachel appreciated his acting career and fit into that lifestyle. They were the supportive, healthy couple.

    24. TigerMill on

      When Ross started dating a teenager and didn’t see anything wrong with it because it was just “looked down upon.”

    25. throwaway17197 on

      They WERE on a break, that RACHEL asked for. And she had the guy ross was insecure about IN HER APARTMENT just hours later.

    26. Character_Ad8449 on

      The thing is, it was a break up. Though miscommunication and intent seem to differ between Ross and Rachel.

      But Ross knew what he did was wrong, hence the attempt to cover it up. Was it cheating? Technically no. Was it wrong? Absolutely

    27. throwaway17197 on

      Hey heres a fun idea if you dont wanna break up dont ask your boyfriend for a break and then cry on the shoulder of the guy hes insecure about

    29. BB808BB on

      They were for sure on a break broken up but also he was for sure a dick because seriously Ross That was way way too fast.

    30. JustForKicks16 on

      I disagree. When Rachel went to Ross’ apartment the next morning, she asked him, “can I be your girlfriend again”? So in Rachel’s eyes, they were broken up. Now with that being said, I think it was crappy that Ross slept with the other girl so quickly. And although Rachel and Mark weren’t physical, she probably shouldn’t have allowed him to come over that night either.

      IMO, Ross didn’t technically cheat but he was in the wrong, for sure.
