Controlling how? Controlling like “I don’t want you spending all your time with Mark, who is clearly trying to fuck you, who you are also attracted to”? I think that’s a perfectly reasonable request in a committed, monogamous relationship. The fact that Mark asked her out as soon as she was single, and the fact that she was considering it, proved that all of Ross’ concerns were valid.
He’s perfectly sane at the beginning of the show, but they heavily flanderize him in the later seasons, turning him neurotic.
Who cares if his means are justified, he’s still ordering her to do things because he sees her as belonging to him. He’s also super-possessive over Monica (e.g. always saying “my sister” to Chandler), I guess it’s meant to be the “protective older brother” trope but it’s still not good.
These are cartoonish sitcom characters though, I hope people don’t expect them to behave like real humans!
Yeah but Ross is also a huge creep. They all kinda suck tbh
How was Ross a creep? He was a good father, a caring husband (to Carol), and a pretty decent guy all around. He was just a little socially awkward.
Very controlling and possessive towards women. Also he’s the best character as he’s clearly the most insane.
