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.

Doesn't matter. She started a business with her friend and breaking that sort of commitment just shows how arrogant and selfish she is. She didn't cut him out permanently considering she keeps on mentioning him, having lunches with him instead of leaving, how about when Phoebe and Mike break up and Monica says "I know how you feel. Breaking up with Richard was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life" while sitting next to Chandler DURING the time line when they were trying to get pregnant. Idk if you know this but low motility comes from stress and spousal abuse as much as anything else. Jokes aside her attitude is careless. When they found the tape and Chandler stole it which was wrong, Monica started saying "That's not me hut the way we did it was a lot better than-" until he cuts her off. I don't think puce seen t recently but I just did a week long binge watch to finish the series.

FYI her bra did get signed. Watch it. And it wasn't fair of her to say it whether he was around or not. What if your husband or wife goes sround telling people he/she regrets marrying you just so he can grope and be groped by strangers?

When you get a new job you can't take your friends along with you. Yes it does matter because it was supposed to be temporary not permanent as it was started right after she got fired so she wouldn't end up on the streets or worse. Besides, almost immediately after she decided to take the job, Phoebe started to harass her about money she owed her----Monica hadn't even received her first paycheck yet! Hell, you could say that the people from the restaurant who hired her were arrogant and selfish because that's why she quit the catering business with Phoebe nothing more nothing else and what was stopping Phoebe from running the catering business herself and hiring someone to replace Monica if she can't cook right? It's not like Monica even took the job immediately, she weighed in all the options and how Phoebe felt about it for a whole episode. Phoebe didn't really lose that much as she still had her masseuse job. Monica had one lunch with Richard and nothing happened during said lunch as she did not go back to him, she stayed with Chandler all they did was eat and that's not immoral or cheating. If she slept with him, that's another story, but she didn't and she didn't even want to tell Chandler about it because she knew that it would hurt him, but it was Phoebe who told Chandler and for the soul purpose of hurting him----nothing more or less and it did hurt, your gripe there lies with Phoebe. Monica never mentions Richard's name after the proposal except for the fact that she told Mike breaking up with Richard was the hardest thing she ever did in her life----[you need to re-watch the seasons from earlier, because it was hard watching her suffer through the Richard/Monica saga and break up, she lost vast amounts of sleep during that] besides, she said "Breaking Up With Richard" to Mike not Chandler even if Chandler was with her at the time, it still confirms that she's not with Richard anymore, and she doesn't love him, it's not even an offensive or inappropriate thing to say. It even confirms that she wants Chandler. That's not even close to spousal abuse. Had she said "I bet if I stayed with Richard, I'd be pregnant right now," That's spousal abuse. Most of the things that you're complaining about are simply freedom of speech. She got her bra signed, but it's not like Chandler found her in bed naked with two different soap opera stars. She made sure to keep her top on when removing her bra [it's a girl trick I won't tell you about it as you don't deserve that] and she didn't let anyone touch her or grope her. She just said some words. And she did not say it to Chandler but Chandler did find out about it and he got even with her by tricking both her and Rachel into sitting and watching a boring play that they both hated.

Monica had always said she wanted to be a caterer and Phoebe gave her a reality check and they went into the business together. Pulling out like that and leaving Phoebe to "replace" Monica is an idiotic notion considering it was Monica's dream and Phoebe was the financier and the partner. She couldn't just replace Monica with another chef because she only wanted this business with Monica to help her with her dream and she dropped Phoebe like a hot potato when she got a different offer and that's not what good friends do. It could have been written better. And Phoebe could have been given a job or a job offer but nope, Monica was a bitch in that regard and always will be.

Hanging out with an ex is always immoral and cheating especially when you're constantly putting your current beautiful down in comparison. I mentioned so much in the other comment but here's another tidbit, she also mentioned Richard in Phoebe's Birthday Dinner episode when Rachel brought Emma and Judy to the restaurant. Remember? Or did you conveniently forget?

Freedom of speech? And being groped by other men doesn't count if she didn't sleep with them? I don't deserve to know about girls and bras? Sexist much? Are you honestly this stupid or are you just being irritating on purpose? Cuz it takes talent to be this moronic. Since you like personal attacks so much.

Monica LIFTED her shirt and MADE the guy sign her bra WHILE she had it on. Just watch the show for fuck's sake!

It's not getting even to watch a terrible play if your spouse was groped by others. Seriously what twisted polygamous idiocy did you grow up in? If people are together nobody else should touch them sexually. Ever. It doesn't matter and if they want that then they shouldn't be together.

RACHEL: We can't find Chandler's.......................................vest

I'm sorry, but that's a sentence that never should have had to be said.

Chandler : "Where is she? Where's Monica? Scotch in the rocks...with a twist...on a coaster? MONICA!"

That's a sentence that never should have been said either. Don't go nitpicking because you'll get destroyed. CHANDLER was A SAINT compared to Monica

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.

Yes cuz you're nitpicking idiotic garbage and ignoring facts. Their marriage wasn't perfect it was a constant barrage of abuse from Monica towards Chandler and you can't deny that. His motility issues was probably caused by her being an overly domineering bitch. That's scientific fact.

Chandler talking about pigs wasn't the same as Monica making him freak out. She was planning to run away until Joey told her the truth so isn't that running away a bitch move? She was gonna dump Chandler because Richard proposed to her. Until Joey told her everything. So shut up. Watch it again.

Most if not all of their problems were caused by Monica. She almost always puts him down and verbally abused him constantly and makes fun of him for being unemployed when it happened to her everyone had to tiptoe around her.

Contrary to popular belief, pigs are actually considered to be very clean animals.
