In my eyes the problem wasn't ever "We were on a break" or " We weren't on a break." Becuase they were, Rachel was even the one who initiated it. But I don't think that was ever the problem, the problem in my eyes was that, Ross got drunk the night of and went to a club and slept with some random girl and then tried to lie about it, when in reality he should've told Rachel when she went to his apartment the next morning to ask if they could still be together. And yes, I know Rachel had Mark over the same night, but if anyone remembers correctly, she actually told Mark not to but he insisted and just invited himself over. And while Ross was sleeping with some random girl, Rachel was trying to call him saying that she wanted to fix them.

[@norawinchester3500]

Bullshit. Ross called Rachel while he was at the bar and Ross overheard Mark's voice on the phone. Rachel tried to lie and say "it's no one" but Mark spoke again and Ross asked, "Is that Mark?" Why the hell did Rachel even allow Mark up there? That moment + "we need a break from us" gave Ross all the information he needed to believe she wants to break up and sleep with Mark. Everything that happened the next morning is a related, but different matter.

[@attyart4785]

@@PrimeSuperboy Mark was there bcs he invited himself over. He wanted Rachel and knew him being there for her would give him a chance. I always think that him speaking when Ros called was on purpose, so he could give him that idea. Rachel tried to hide it bcs she knew Ros was paranoid about Mark and didn't want to hurt him more, but Ros heard him and got himself the idea of them together. Even though nothing had happened between Rachel and Mark. She told him off and tried to contact Ros again but he already got the idea to sleep with someone else to hurt her the same way he thought she hurt him bcs from the beginning his insecurities about himself got over him and ruined the relationship. They were on a break but that still doesn't justify his sleeping with somebody else the night they went on a break, bcs simply when people go on a break, you give some rules what is alowed or what is not and if you don't recieve them, you don't go inviting other girls into bed with you.

@@vvthetalentlessduo6976 you talking about Ross and Rachel? I was talking about the girl who commented that.

A person who would let their bf/gf crawl back to them when they didn't wait for a few hours before sleeping with somebody. Technicalities are debatable. They were/weren't on a break is a long debate but him sleeping with somebody hours after a breakup when they haven't even talked what a "break" means to each of them properly (He just walked out) shows how important that realtionship was for him. He used that break as a window to sleep with somebody else. People say shit in anger. You talk it out instead of walking away. And then having the audacity to crawl back as if nothing happened and throwing it all on Rachel alone when they both fucked up. (Ik Rachel did that too in that letter.) He chose to do something according to his assumptions. Fine. Now own up to your actions and don't expect others to accept your choices that clearly were hurtful to them. That's assholery. And Rachel asking for a break is wrong? People in relationships sometimes need some space to get their shit done without having to juggle between so many things and not giving anything enough. She asked for a break, didn't go out and sleep with someone else Also the fact that she said most of that outta frustration and that shows by the fact that she called him hundreds of times the very same night. Let's be mature. People say shit in anger.

[@rachelthornton4442]

I never realised how toxic Ross was in this scene and how well David pulls it off. The way he flips thirty times between begging for forgiveness from Rachel and blaming Rachel is unreal, but it feels so real; like a man clinging at any straw to keep this relationship together.

[@victorpradha9946]

Had he simply said to her at the first instance. Rachel, we need to talk. I made some very poor choices last night and led me to make some truly bad choices. What *I* want does NOT matter any more. What matters is how you feel *we* if there is any *we* after this should proceed. And I will completely understand and stand by your decision. Just know that it was never my thoughtful, conscious intention to hurt you, but I did. Last night, after the where Mark was in your apartment, I lost it and me and the photocopy girl slept together. I was pretty drunk, but that's no excuse...just telling I did not do this with a clear mind. I am so, so sorry. I just can't lie to you about this. That might have painted Ross in a different light. But in this scene he is toxic. She asks him to leave several times and he stays. It ain't like that's an apartment they share. Best thing would have been to leave and give her space and let Rachel decide what happens. WHY? Because he defined their *new* starting point if there is one!

[@miavika1074]

@@victorpradha9946ikr, if he had just been honest from the start, and Rachel still decided to be a bitch, he could at least say he did right by her. What I don’t understand is why the writers made him go this far. Going to bars and sleeping with the first woman that jumps on him was NOT on his priority list when he broke up with carol. I get it, she traumatized him, but come on, if you don’t have it in you, you don’t just develop it, and even then, it’s been what, 2-3 years in this time period since the divorce? See a therapist dude, your partner should be allowed to choose how much of your bs to put up with. Oh and when Ross said he doesn’t cheat? Um, did everyone just simply forget Julie? He made out with Rachel while STILL BEING WITH HER, he has it in him to cheat. Poor girl did NOTHING to deserve that other than love him and be kind to him

[@FabioDroguett]

[@kennethkazanow3604]

Honestly Ross is one of the biggest reasons I never got into Friends like that. Ross is a very selfish, toxic, possessive and manipulative person throughout the entire show. He not a nice guy he's a "nice guy" if that makes any sense. I understand him making a mistake by sleeping with someone else, I understand him wanting Rachel back but if he really cared about her he would've A. Told her what happened directly after it happened and B. Told her everything and then leave the fate of the relationship in her hands. Not saying that's the easiest thing to do in that type of situation but when you really love and care for someone and want the best for them it's not about you. How you feel doesn't matter or at least it doesn't matter not nearly as much as the person who is in the right in the situation. If he had just said what he had to say and then just given her space and let her decide what to do THAT would've been truly loving and caring about her. He messed up. He fucked up. The least he could do to make it up to her is give her enough space to let her sort out her feelings and if it turns out she did want to end it well then oh well...she wants to end it. It sucks but if you love someone you got to let them go. Like I said Ross never really cared about her or at least not as much as he cared about himself.

[@nyongtory4e]

@@Unwisesaucer This are all excuses for Ross's trust issues and insecurities. And those cannot be blamed on Rachel. Because she made it clear from the start he was a friend. He was her only friend in this brand new job in fashion world, thays why she wss so excited. And Mark never made a move on Rachel while she was with Ross. He asked her on a date weeks after they officially broke up. Which ended up badly because after the date Rachel rejected him. Because she NEVER saw him as a romantic partner as she told Ross many many times. See, the problem is that just the mention of Mark's name made Ross jealous, not what Mark did himself. And Mark showed himself on Rachel's apartment, she never invited him over. Its still no reason enough to go have sex with someone else.

On top of that Ross was vulnerable and had 2 idiot friends namely Chandler and Joey who told him shit advice. He then got drunk and and a very attractive woman threw herself at him and let me add more emphasis on the fact that Ross is *DRUNK* and you think that Ross, who is being influenced by intense emotions and alcohol, isn't going to sleep with the hot and sexy woman practically throwing her body on him???

When he said "Do you really think I would've done that if I didn't think you and Mark were doing the same thing?" or something along those lines, I hate that shit. Two wrongs never make a right, it makes shit worse. And shit, before I go fuck someone after my partner tells me they want a break, I would love or care about them enough to keep my legs closed until I speak with said partner again and discuss what this "break" entails. Full on break up or just a breather? Might sound corny but seriously, communication is key.

Since when did a break mean an opportunity to go have sex with someone else?

It’s ultimately lack of communication between both Ross and Rachel. To be specific, Ross’s insecurities and Rachel’s negligence are the main cause of their breakup. Also not forgetting they let external factors get in between them, especially Mark being an opportunist to Rachel, as well as Joey and Chandler giving horrible advice to Ross.

@@TheYouy89 Plus look at how smug he looks when Ross rushes in. If he had told her for the right reasons, I would get it but his crush on Rachel varied from creepy to obsessive over the course of the 10 seasons. Rachel did not deserve to find out this way. I will add that after this, I never wanted Ross and Rachel to get back together. He was controlling, obsessive and manipulative, and honestly his comment to her that Mark was only being nice to sleep with her was bang out of order! While they both end up being pretty toxic towards each other after this, she did not deserve to be treated this way. Rachel did nothing wrong. Ross did. Sorry for the rant, but this really reminds me of how my ex reacted when I got a new job working with a group of men.

I dont count it as cheating. Ross didnt cheat on her technically since she was the one who initiated the break..

I see both sides of the argument but definitely with Rachel on this. For him to just sleep with someone right away a few hours after a break without fighting for you is a slap to the face and I wouldnt want someone like that in my life. Not to mention how insanely jealous and possessive he was acting during the lead up to the break up.

[@deahunci4722]

The way I see it, the break meant end of the relationship to Ross, so he could do whatever he wanted after that. Clearly, this definition was not the same as Rachel's definition of the break, which meant being on a pause, like stop hanging out or communicating for an indefinite amount of time, while still being in a relationship). Had she told Ross what she meant by a break, probably Ross wouldn't have slept with that other girl. Also, him sleeping with another girl a few hours after the break up was done out of being devastated. He was hurt from the break up and just rushed into someone else, so as to comfort himself. I don't think that he didn't care about Rachel or that he didn't respect the relationship enough to go sleep with someone the second the relationship ends. There's a lack of communication by both of them which led to all this situation. While I understand she was hurt because she didn't want to end the relationship and still cared about Ross and sees his action as cheating, she is to blame too.

[@coreybaldwin2500]

Everyone seems completely content to ignore how horrible Ross was leading up to the break and I'm glad to see someone finally say it. He was just so jealous and possessive and insecure of Rachel finally having an awesome career. He is such an awful character.

Why does everyone keep forgetting that Ross did it only bcoz he thought Rachel was sleeping with Mark right after they broke up He didn't go out to cheat on her He called her to make things right but finds out that the guy he ws constantly worried about is with her girl in her apartment right after she broke up with him How would u feel if u were afraid of ur GF getting too close to someone, & then hours after ur breakup, u find that she is with the same person who is somehow a reason fr ur insecurities.....that just broke Ross completely & he went overboard At that moment he thought that this is over & he lost her forever He lost his ability to think rationally about it after that point The photo copy girl found her when he ws at his most vulnerable state in his love life I'm not saying Rachel getting hurt over it was unjustified....anyone would be deeply hurt by that But Ross being blamed fr it like Rachel didn't have any role in it is also unfair
