I am on record as being absolutely ride-or-die anti-Ross Geller. He is one of televisionās all-time worst human men.
#1: Ross never saw Rachel as a friend. He ONLY saw her as a romantic prospect and never got over his crush on her. Heās had a crush on her since high school so in his mind heĀ āclaimedā her first and long after they broke up he resented and deliberately tried sabotaging every male relationship in her life.
#2 Ross literally could not accept that Mark (or any man) could be friends with Rachel because HE couldnāt beĀ ājust friendsā with Rachel. Throughout the series itās often Joey that tells Ross that he doesnāt OWN Rachel while Chandler and Monica (OH DONāT LET ME GO OFF ABOUT MONICA) enable him.
#3 āWE WERE ON A BREAKā is NEVER an excuse.
#4 I am STILL pissed that Rachel got off that damn plane! Ross sabotaged her career at EVERY. SINGLE. TURN. He wasĀ ātired of having a relationship with her answering machineā. He was constantly jealous of all her male colleagues. He WALTZ INTO HER WORKPLACE TO ARGUE ABOTU THEIR RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS!
#5 AND HE HAD THE AUDACITY TO FALL ASLEEP at a work event that he DEMANDED she take him to.
#6 I DARE YOU to name ONE THING that Ross EVER did to unselfishly help Rachelās career.
#7 LITERALLY EVERYONE WANTED Rachel to get on that plane. There was nothing left for her professionally in New York. The Paris job was her DREAM. But GUESS WHO DIDNāT. FUCKING ROSS BECAUSE IT ALWAYS HAS TO BE ABOUT HIM AND WHAT HE WANTS.
#8 I HATED (HATED) the running gag that Rossās first wife being gay was the reason they divorced. MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE YOU WERE A TERRIBLE HUMAN BEING.
#9 Rossās need to win EVERY SINGLE TIME
#10 Ross ALWAYS treats everyone (ESPECIALLY RACHEL) like theyāre intellectually beneath him.
In addition to all of this:
HE SAID THE WRONG NAME AT HIS OWN WEDDING TO EMILY
He doesnāt annul his and Rachelās wedding AND LIES ABOUT IT
he made a move on his COUSIN, and RATIONALIZED THAT IT WAS FINE BASED ON HER ACTIONS
He didnāt read the letter
AGAIN āWE WERE ON A BREAKā (if Ross thought he and Rachel were on a break and he did nothing wrong, why did he hide the girl from the copy place behind the door?)
He KEPT TRACK of how many times he and Rachel had sex
He CONSTANTLY belittles the accomplishments of others
He has anger management issues
He suffers from the Nice Guy Syndrome (NGS); fun fact, Friends coined the term the friendzone, this is no coincidence
The whole turkey sandwich thing
Has never been in a relationship where he HASNāT cheated
When he got caught getting high in highschool, he throws his oldest friend under the bus
He dates a student (A STUDENT)
Heās never been in a relationship where he hasnāt lied
The āWe Hate Rachel Clubā and the rumor that he and Will started in high school
I could go on about how Rachel SHOULD have ended up with Joey, but thatās a whole other Ted Talk.
