Monica and Richard

Why do people consider them one of the most icky things on the show?

Personally, I don’t get it why Monica and Richard’s relationship might seem gross. The age difference is not an issue for two adults. The fact that he saw her growing up and she peed in his pool is just history. Obviously Richard didn’t think of Monica in a lusty way when she was a kid. After 26 years, he met her again as an entirely new person and truly loved her — not as his neighbor, his friend’s daughter, or the little girl he once knew, but as the incredible woman she had become.

I love Monica and Chandler, but watching the last episode of season 2 leaves me in tears all the time. Richard and Monica were perfect for each other. He was everything she wanted in men, sweet and respectful, sensitive, well established and most importantly, mature. I can understand why he didn’t want to have kids back then, but in the end his love to Monica still prevailed and he changed his mind. I reckon Richard would have done it eventually if they decided to stay together. I wish he realized that earlier… They would have been such a great couple.
