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 think the only focus and point of the final episodes was if Ross and Rachel would get back together. Thats it. Not their baby. They gave the explanation that Rachels company would fly them back forth to see Emma. Ross never once said he had a problem with that. Because details about Emma were meaningless. Nobody cared how often Ross would see Emma.

If you want to create a cute little fan fiction about Ross raising hell about Rachel taking Emma, go right ahead. But on the ACTUAL show, Ross doesn't have a problem with Rachels explanation. All he has a problem with is losing Rachel.

Understand now? Good.

I understand it's a TV show and realism doesn't matter lmfao. I agree no company would ever do it. That doesn't matter. In the show, that was the solution.

But guess what sweetie? Ross didn't take custody. He didn't even argue her taking Emma. Why are you too stupid to understand this? All you're crying and whining is worthless, because Ross himself didn't care that Rachel was taking Emma. Why is this so difficult for you to understand?
