Also, according toAffinity, their relationship definitely isn’t one worth envying.
In many instances, the pair’s behavior showed serious signs of emotional abuse.
Things only get worse later, when Rachel confronted Ross about his jealousy and he denied the obvious.
In this episode, Ross' behavior toward his girlfriend definitely doesn’t scream healthy.
“We’re still married,” he revealed, seeming pretty giddy about his secret.
Naturally, whenRachel finally discoveredthat Ross lied about them no longer being married, she got pretty upset.
Still, Rachel’s behavior also had its fair share of problems.
However, the judge quickly realized Rachel was lying and denied the request.
“You definitely should do that,” Rachel said.
Bonnie (unaware that Rachel had an ulterior motive) happily agreed.
Later in the episode, after Ross realized what happened, he confronted Rachel about her behavior.
Though Rachel initially denied her involvement, Ross told her he knew it was Rachel’s idea.
“She said you gave her the razor,” Ross said.
Though things appeared to be going smoothly, Rachel called Juliemanipulativeafter she walked away.
“Kind of ditzy?”
Rachel read off the paper.
“Too into her looks?
Ross even called out what he viewed as a career flaw, calling Rachel “just a waitress.”
Rachel was unsurprisingly and understandably upset when she realized why he’d come over.
“Oh, so you weren’t trying to entice me just now with your, your nakedness?”
Naturally, Rachel was shocked by the suggestion and made Ross feel completely ridiculous.
He even attempted to deny his previous offer before leaving the apartment.
It’s repulsive.”
TheIndependentalso reported that Ross' feelings toward Sandy were pretty cringy to watch.
As stated byBuzzFeed, one commenter simply couldn’t stand Ross' behavior during this episode.
It’s not the kind of behavior you’d want from a healthy partner or friend.
Ross' plan to trick Rachel’s old boss did work, initially.
Still, according toMetro, those decisions almost didn’t even happen.
It likely would have been better if Rachel had stuck to her choice and gone to her dream job.
However, it turned out that Ross' feelings for Rachel were ultimately enough to change her mind.
“What are you doing?
Are you trying to hurt me or something?”
heaskedafter Rachel tried to present him with the box of his items.
“No,” Rachel told him.
“Ross, it just seems that, you know, it’s time we move on.”
Ross continued to act petty toward Rachel, who rightfully calls out his actions.
Showing off further toxic behavior, Ross replied by mocking her.
After that display, Rachel should have probably realized that she was better off not dating Ross.
According toE News, the entire series cast said the pair were indeed on a break.
While debating this unhealthy couple’s most well-known argument,Cosmohad three couples' therapists weigh in.
Sam Talone, LCSW, psychotherapist, and couples therapist, agreed.
“Healthy communication seems to be lacking in their relationship,” Talone said.
Naturally, Rachel agreed to the request.
For example, at the beginning of the series, Ross is upset about his recent divorce.
Later, when they finally began dating, Ross created his idealized version of the pair in his head.
