The latest Friends theory that’s doing the rounds is very harsh on Ross

Ok, let's see if Emily's theory stands up. 1) Ross and Chandler were best friends in college and they were practically inseparable. On that note, it's fair to assume that Chandler wouldn't ditch his close friend after a painful divorce. 2) Rachel and Ross also had a history. Granted, they weren't dating when they went to high school together but in the very first episode of the show, Rachel arrived into Central Perk and knows absolutely nobody apart from Monica and Ross. Granted, their social interactions all revolved around the fact that Ross is Monica's brother but even if she wasn't introduced to Ross via Monica, they still went to the same high school. Ross only met Carol in college. It's fair to assume that any 'loyalty' Rachel would have regarding 'picking a side' in the divorce would go to Ross because she would know his face. 3) Phoebe and Ross were once romantically involved. Granted, Phoebes also said about Carol "She is so great! I miss her" but this also happened as soon as she heard that Ross was having marital issues. It's clear that she cares for Ross. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuVp_La5uiA Clip via - Tawfiq Gousouss 4) In the same scene above, it's implied that Joey has never met Carol although he does think it's cool that she's a lesbian. His allegiances could go anywhere but at least he has met Ross. 5) If Monica wasn't Ross' sister, it's unclear where she might go. The backstory between Carol and Monica was never really fleshed out too much because it always did involve the truism that their relationship was centred around the fact they're sisters-in-law. Anyways, people have weighed in with their own theories. What do you reckon?
