So I know it's a major plot point in nearly every season, but did the relationship have to happen? Ross doesn't deserve Rachel. She had so much character development, going from a spoiled, scared girl to an independent feminist comfortably raising her daughter on her own.
And Ross?
Ross is still that insecure little boy. Did you see how badly he treated Emily? He's clearly not entirely comfortable with Susan and Carol being together, but not in a jealous way, more in a 'I'm a closeted homophobe way'. And he gets so jealous of Rachel's other boyfriends, and then is completely oblivious to her feelings. He is so stuffed full of toxic masculinity; I had so many issues with his reaction to the male nanny ("That's like a woman wanting to be a-")
Anyways. Our queen Rachel Greene is better than that.
