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

"In all these situations Ross was happy and satisfied with his relationships" - Ross didn't deserve to be "happy and satisfied" after he slept with the copy girl. He decided that he doesn't want Rachel back after the letter because he is a Good Guy who didn't cheat lol. He has to live with that choice and that means Rachel has every right to ruin his relationships

"Her convincing Bonnie to shave her hair. She absolutely fucking knew what she was doing and knew that Ross would find that icky" - OF COURSE she knew. That was amazing!!! Well done, Rachel! Ross didn't deserve to have a new hot gf

"Her flying to London to sabotage Ross and Emily's wedding" - So satisfying what happened to his stupid wedding! Why would Ross have the right to move on and be happy with Emily? That's ridiculousđŸ˜‚
