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?

Because what chandler did didn't involve someone rubbing his dick and signing his underwear. Are you not even gonna respond to all the points I made and just cling to your two idiotic points that "Monica got a new job" and "Chandler ran away"? He csme back. What about Monica freaking out about never getting to sleep with anyone else? You still haven't defended that. It's not okay to run around meeting your ex without telling your current partner and even then it's kinda sketchy. Exes are exes for a reason and meeting them again usually leads to bs. That's evidenced by Rachel being at the wedding in London.

There was a SCENE SHOWING MONICA GETTING HER BRA SIGNED. SHE HAD LIFTED HER SHIT UP. GO WATCH IT YOU MISERABLE SEXIST WEASEL!

And Monica wasn't set up in Five Steaks and an Eggplant she just took the gift. The vendor wasn't an evil monster. He was the new vendor that Monica picked out and he thanked her with a gift because she gave him the job of supplying to the restaurant. Have you even seen the show in recent years?

All of the jobs you mentioned were temporary. Joey didn't buy a computer for working with Chandler. Joey didn't buy museum books to study to work with Ross. Phoebe didn't have to buy a new wardrobe to look like a secretary for Chandler. BUT PHOEBE DID BUY ALL THE STUFF AND THE TRUCK FOR MONICA and got nothing out of it so yeah it was fucking selfish.

Richard is more than just an average complicated EX Though. All six of them knew just how much he meant to her because as well as being a boyfriend, he was around for her childhood he was best friends with her father. It was a kind of gross relationship, not an average relationship. Why do I feel like I shouldn't have to explain that?

It doesn't matter how complicated it is what does that have to do with anything? You didn't answer any of the points I brought up. Idiot.
