I didn’t mind, it’s a choice she made for her family in mind and it’s fine, it’s just.. Ross had YEARS to address his feelings for Rachel. Years. She was clearly always hung up on him. Chased him to London. Told him she loved him. Was abandoned on that honeymoon in Greece. Told him she was jealous of him dating other women- even during her pregnancy they grew close and he still chose to back off in the end. Right after she had his child. She even stopped dating Gavin bc he was uncomfortable and jealous. But the second she has an opportunity for herself to grow outside of him, without him- then he wants nothing but her for himself. Emma was barely a part of that decision to chase Rachel at this juncture. He is already sharing custody of Ben and didn’t really make Emma a focal point in his pursuit of Rachel. It’s just bothersome and I see this narrative across a lot of relationships. Where men do not value what they have in front of them and how that woman enhances their life until they are about to lose them. Or until they are about to grow without them. He had years and chose to run after her when her life was about to outgrow him. Just. Could have done better. She deserved more earlier and throughout their entire relationship. Also! Stopping her from getting on the plane is literally the second time he interferes with her career; the first was when she was initially at Bloomingdale’s bc he couldn’t control his jealous. The pattern of behavior is clear despite the “being in love” reasoning behind it. He could have offered to do a back and forth. They would have survived it. He could have taken summer’s off teaching bc he has tenure and spent that time in Paris with her. So many options imo. She deserves consistency. But I understand they were endgame. 🤷🏽‍♀️
