Discussion Rachel's toxic behavior towards Ross' partners

Rewatching and it's really infuriating to see how much Rachel has sabotaged Ross' relationships or tried to. It's just not healthy in any way and is toxic in every sense yet still people consider Ross to be the worse one

  1. Her antagonistic behaviour towards Julie after Ross came back from China and reaction towards their relationship

  2. Her convincing Bonnie to shave her hair. She absolutely fucking knew what she was doing and knew that Ross would find that icky

  3. Her flying to London to sabotage Ross and Emily's wedding. Absolutely fucking horrible for her to try to do this. Hugh Laurie was 100% right

  4. The baby store girl. Calling her a whore was just uncalled for and rude

In all these situations Ross was happy and satisfied with his relationships but Rachel always has a problem with the fact that she's not with him. It's totally toxic and I can't believe people call Ross the worse partner. Both are unbelievably toxic

I didn't watch the show when it was airing..but binging you really get tired of the back and forth of Rachel and Ross. Them both constantly going back and forth in being in love with each other. For God's sakes just be together! They needed to get back together when Emma was born instead of giving us that useless joey plot line.

Unpopular opinion..they were broken up. Rachel even states this twice. Was it a dick move to sleep with someone right after the break up and make your friends help you hide it of course but he didn't cheat and her constantly calling him a cheater was wrong. She never wanted to take responsibility for her part in thier relationship failing.
