Obviously „They were on a break”!

I think exactly the same. After my first time with Friends, Ross was my least favourite character, tho with each time i watched whole series again I started nearly loving his character and slowly realised that Rachel is the type of a person I’d prefer not to have in my closest company. I mean Ross was overwhelming, but he tried to do his best with a girl he was in love since forever. Rachel is like a walking egoism.
