    That’s perfectly fair, but don’t expect the original person to want to get back together with you then. It’s not about whether it was ok for him to have sex with that girl, it’s whether or not Rachel was justified to not want to get back together because of it. Which she was. And he knew it, or he wouldn’t have immediately tried to hide it.

      I wouldn’t date someone so weird about sex, but Rachel was wrong here as she is most of the time, because her arc is her learning how to be a functioning person

          Totally agreed re:Ross, but knowing you’ve hurt someone doesn’t make the person you hurt “right.” My point is that Rachel was wrong to be upset and it makes total sense that Ross hooked up with that girl when Rachel had just broken up with him.

          Rachel goes from being a grown child to bring an adult over the series, and at this point she responds like a teenage girl, not like a grown woman.

          Def agreed on everything you wrote though

              What I’ve learned from your deep, insightful assessment here is that we should probably never date lol

              Love your take, but I disagree quite strongly with “right and wrong aren’t viable concepts” and “there is no ‘the one’”

              I did very much enjoy reading your opinion tho and you have a good head on your shoulders.
