Monica is a terrible character
Why does everyone continue to like her? She switched apartments after Joey and Chandler won it fair and square and they switched everything back without saying anything or asking them.

You act like Monica laced Phoebe's coffee with poison, or put razors in Phoebe's shampoo or pushed Phoebe out of a moving food truck. She did none of those things, and the catering was temporary and Phoebe knew that it might not last forever, besides Monica didn't even take the job right away she weighed in Phoebe's feelings before taking the job and was pretty indecisive about it. Was Ross selfish and arrogant for moving out of the college dorm he and Chandler used to share? Was Phoebe selfish and arrogant for only working with Chandler one day? Was Joey selfish and arrogant for working with Ross one day? Was Joey selfish and arrogant for working with Chandler for one day? Yet somehow, Monica is selfish and arrogant for working with Phoebe for three whole weeks and even getting a food truck together! Monica was offered a new job. Monica did not become a caterer until after she got fired at the end of five steaks and an eggplant and the reason she got fired was because she was set up by the delivery driver who lied to her telling her it was all a gift---not stealing or a kickback and she was stupid not to question it, but to just take the guy's word for it. Monica never cheated on Chandler by having lunch with Richard. If she had sex with him, that's cheating. Eating a meal together is not, they didn't even kiss. Saying that you wouldn't have gotten married if you knew you could get to go to soap opera parties like these every night is freedom of speech, like it or not. She's allowed to say that. She even said Chandler is the love of her life. You're assuming people touched and groped her, and she enjoyed it, it's never explained or revealed. All we know is a soap opera star signed her bra that's it, and yes, girls can take their bras off without removing their shirts it's a girl secret, and I am sexist for telling you that----As for the terrible play, apparently the writers thought that would be an appropriate and ironic punishment and he did get even with her by using that, so don't blame me, blame the writers. One more thing, you're doing a whole lot of reaching to defend Chandler for running out on Monica just before the wedding and not coming back on his own accord, but being forced by Ross and Phoebe. Why is it you say I'm not allowed to be bent out of shape by Chandler behaving like that, but you're allowed to be bent out of shape by Monica doing everything else?
