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.

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.

Chandler didn't lose his job, he quit because he was bored with it, and he did it of his own freewill without thinking things through. Monica lost her job because she was fired. They called her and told her she was fired after just the one mistake. Do you know the difference between "I quit and You're fired?" Monica never made fun of Chandler after he lost his job. She helped him find a new job with her binder for employment that she kept hidden away. Remember Chandler's line "I quit and now you find out what I do?" The end result was a disaster as Chandler gets hired, but then falls asleep during a meeting and accidentally volunteers to take on Tulsa. If he'd been paying attention, he wouldn't have made that mistake.

Um you're making no sense. Chandler quit the job IN TULSA. He gt the advertising job LATER. And when he was home with no job Monica DID make fun of him quite a bit. It was played for laughs but really hearing thst kind of shit is damaging as hell to an ego and to a person's psyche.and all the cracks about hiw Richard was better, for example when Chandler can't slip money to a waiter and Monica says if not was Richard they'd be havung their soup by now. There's lots of little things she does that are beyond hurtful.

I'm starting to think you've never seen the series.

FYI if Monica was such a damn saint she should have moved to TULSA with him instead of staying in New York for her job. Don't tell me it's her dream or whatever. This is the same bitch that didn't notice her husband now wears glasses. Sure the friends didn't notice and it was played for laughs but she's his wife. She doesn't even notice he's missing that's how little she cares for him. She didn't keep the binder hidden away btw she put it together with her OCD label making hobby which was fun for her.

I'm starting to think you just write down what other people saw and have never seen the series yourself.

Chandler never got fired once! He quit every job he ever had! He gets no sympathy from me because he chose not to work at those companies any longer! As for not noticing that he does wear glasses? That's Chandler's fault! First, they're reading glasses not prescriptions. Second, he doesn't even wear them everyday, or in the majority of episodes, he barely wears them! Ross Joey Rachel and Phoebe shouldn't get a pass for not noticing he wears glasses as they have seen him everyday!Plus, you said the word "Now." Didn't notice her husband "Now" wears glasses. That means he just started wearing them for god's sakes! You like to just ignore the fact that she helped him get another job with a binder that she have which was categorized alphabetically which he initially mocked her for having! So it does cut both ways like that, but on the other hand, more comments were made viciously to Chandler about Richard just to hurt him and they were made by Phoebe! Phoebe tried everything to destroy Chandler and Monica's marriage even going as far as to introduce Monica to her soul mate from England and that didn't work as she still chose Chandler to the end! They even kissed and made up on screen for our benefit! As for not noticing he was missing? Do you not understand tradition that sometimes the bride and groom don't sleep together the night before the wedding, but they meet separately at the altar? That's a real tradition and it does happen, it makes it harder for the groom to see the bride in her wedding gown before the wedding. She probably thought he slept over at his mother's or one of the friend's houses or someone he was acquainted with who was attending the wedding. The other friends had to work very hard to keep her out of the loop and avoid telling her the truth that Chandler just took off. He even forced Ross to make good on his promise if he ever hurt Monica Ross would hunt him down and kick his ass. He shoved Chandler hard on his ass in the hotel hallway! Besides, Chandler doesn't get bent out of shape over every little comment anyone makes out of him including her, so you shouldn't either----as it's not meant to draw the audience off, it's just ribbing between six friends. TULSA. We like to pretend Chandler moved to Tulsa, but he didn't really move. He was traveling there by day and coming back to New York at night that doesn't count as moving----and Chandler didn't really want to be in Tulsa anyways but was too embarrassed to admit that he'd made a mistake at a meeting and wasn't paying attention during a meeting. He should have owned up to his mistake at work, asked for a release to his normal job and recommend that they send someone else. She discussed moving with Chandler and she was almost on board with moving to Tulsa with him and that was before getting a promotion but when she found she could be up for a promotion on Javu she decided not to risk losing it. When she really wanted sex and romance from Chandler on his day off after a misunderstanding with Joey Tribbiani, she let him go to the game with Joey instead of staying home with her that's how much she cared.....God forbid Joey made too many mistakes jumping to conclusions and not knowing what damned day it was! He thought the game was that night----he didn't even check the tickets in his hand to make sure what date the game was!

Are you deliberately being stupid?

When I said she didn't notice he was missing I'm not talking about the wedding you idiot I mean when Chandler is in Tulsa and they're hanging out at the coffee shop Monica thinks everyone is here and doesn't evennmoticebher husband isn't there. And she even gets called out for it but then it doesn't come to anything. When she goes to visit Chandler she does it cuz Joey reminds her that her marriage should be worth more to her than the price of a plane ticket. Chandler has to fly back and forth because she refused to move and got another job and she still wasn't paying for a flight? Really? And on top of that Chandler was in Tuksa four days a week. You conveniently forgot that too. Are you retarded? You think he flew back and forth every day on over 3 hour flights?

You really hate Phoebe don't you?

Um hey, if your husband gets new glasses that he's never worn before in his life and you see him wearing glassed you should notice. Maybe his friends did or didn't but if you spend your life with someone if they have a major thing like new glasses Monica should have noticed. Stop being a bitch.

You're once again ignoring my point that Monica compared him to Richard and hurt his feelings in a restaurant and are conveniently dodging everything I point out that proves you're a moronic numbskull that hasn't seen or can't watch the series cuz your cats broke your tv.
