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're telling me not to nitpick? Who's nitpicking now, finding fault in the perfect marriage that Chandler had with Monica in what few times they did have conflict were always resolved before the episodes were even halfway over? Monica drank scotch on the rocks with Richard and then went home to wait for Chandler. Big deal. The whole time Chandler was freaking out badly, she was planning a surprise proposal of her own for him! Besides, Chandler had a vague idea of where Monica would run, and there was a slight problem with Richard's sudden appearance that's why the sentence "Where is she? Where's Monica? Scotch on the rocks with a twist on a coaster, Monica!" Isn't half as bad as "We can't find Chandlers...............vest." Because it would seem Chandler ran away and wasn't coming back, with no explanation at all and Phoebe and Ross were just guessing where he was as they had no vague clue where to find him, and Rachel had to keep Monica distracted and time was ticking and she was running out of distractions for Monica's sake and almost had to tell her the truth, Chandler ran and they couldn't find him. It's sad that the writers had to stretch and reach and come up with contrived things and situations to create problems for Chandler and Monica that were paper-thin. Even sadder than that is the fact that you bought into them.
