Am I the only one who thinks that when Ross and Rachel broke up it was 1000% Ross's fault?? I could understand the…

I agree to an extent. The break up was rosses fault in my opinion however, she shouldn't have claimed that he was a cheater because they were in face "on a break" for all he knew it was a break up. He had no way of knowing that her and mark hadn't done anything and that she would want him back the next day. Not saying jumping into bed with another girl was okay but in my opinion it wasn't cheating.

@jess007, I guess that's where I differ. I have been in that position. I broke up with my SO and told him he has a lot to make up to me and I wanted him to do what he could to earn my trust back (after actually cheating on me). But he ended up with another woman. I think everyone has their own version of cheating. If you break up, you break up. But if there's anything there and you wanna work it out or you wanna talk about things or simply things are uncertain, I personally feel like it's not fully over so it's a betrayal to do anything with someone else that you shouldn't do while "together". Does that make sense?

@brianne, it makes sense and I guess my opinion is a bit biased because I haven't been in that position myself. I do understand why Rachel is hurt about it and wouldn't wanna get back together after that but like you said, my definition of cheating is different. 1000% agree that the break was his fault though and he should have kept his feelings about mark out of her job. He should have been happy for her because she was finally doing something she enjoyed and was good at.

"But we were on a break!"

Ross was dumb

@jess007, dude yes. Lol. He's at fault whether it was cheating or not.

"And hey, just so ya know, it doesn't happen to every guy, and it IS a big deal!"

@spollock24 thats one of my favs!

To me, I don't think breaking up with someone warrants either party having to prove anything because it should be the last resort..not a reaction. No need to break up if there's still something there, just be firm and communicate. That's why the whole "going on a break" thing makes no sense to me because when you're with somebody, there shouldn't be "breaks" but just taking some time to breathe and then dealing accordingly, depending on the situation and what your boundaries are. That's my biased opinion as well, and I've been on both ends of the spectrum there! If you break up...they no longer are responsible for proving anything to you and vice versa! BUT if down the road flames come back together then that's cool too! Ross was a dick though for that one haha

@simmiebaby, I agree! If I ever told someone I needed a break I specify, we're not breaking up, I just need to breathe. I'll check in with you once in a while, and in my situation, call anytime to talk to the kids, etc etc. but I don't wanna break up until I'm completely done. And I'm a little close to that myself. 😒
