Friends Question

R&R fight/break up. What are your opinions? Did Rachel have the right to be upset? or was Ross Justified? Were they on a "break"?

WE WERE ON A BREAK!!!
Opinions please.
*
I'll try and make this brief. Rachel was the one who said they should take a break. Rachel was the one who said that they had broken up the next morning. Rachel was the on who rejected Ross for weeks when working (I understand her job was important to her, BUT she could have made more of an effort to be with him a little more, especially on their anniversary). In addition, Rachel decided to hang out with Mark even though she was aware of Ross' insecurities. This meant that when Ross did what he did, he was angry at Rachel for going to Mark so soon after their relationship ended (an error in judgement, but with the insecurities Rachel knew he had she could have been more tactful). He was also drunk, and he had no reason not to, as they were both of the opinion that they had broken up. To conclude, Ross' timing was very poor, and he could also have done with being more tactful, but in terms of whether or not they were on a break (/broken up), I see no debate to be had. This means Rachel had little reason to be so angry, and by extension, had ABSOLUTELY no reason to drag it out for so long.

I understand both of their sides but because they were on a break I think Rachel WAY overreacted. Ross being with the other girl obviously meant nothing and while she has the right to be upset that he slept with someone else so soon after their break up, it was NOT cheating!

Of course Rachel had right to be pissed off. She told him they should have a rest. Didn't break up. And EVEN IF the broke up, Ross didn't had any right to do this. Having sex few hours after break up means that the previour relationshio was just nothing. When Katie cheated on Chandler everybady called it "chaeting", not "sex during supposed rest from each other". Ross' ego is too big to realize he was gulity. Or he didn't love Rachel enough at the time.

i also agree! they were taking some time apart- but not ending their relationship. And as you said- even if they had ended their relationship, it demonstrates how little you respect the person you claimed to be in love with if you go and sleep with someone else right after the break up. Whether it was "cheating" or not doesn't matter... what he did demonstrated how little he respected Rachel and his so called "love" for her. (I love Ross and Rachel... but Ross's actions pissed me off and I was honestly really glad Rachel didn't just forgive him right away... but I wish it hadn't taken so many years to get back together!l)

Rachel did have the right to be upset! Obviously if Ross is sleeping with another woman it's gunna seem like he doesn't have feelings for Rachel anymore. I suppose he did it because he thought things were going on between Rachel and ..oh damn I forget his name.. Josh? lol or was it Mark? idno, the guy she works with. 'Cause he was at her house after the breakup, and Ross wouldn't have done anything with that girl if he didn't hear that the guy Rachel works with was with her.
