Friends taught us so much, especially when it came to their
confusing, emotional, life-altering, hilarious and realistic situations. Here
are a few of our favourite life lessons…
‘A Break’ vs
‘Break Up’*
 |
| *We’d like to take this opportunity to say we still don’t know who we completely agree with. |
When Rachel told Ross she thought they should go on a break
in season 3, Ross hooks up with ‘the girl from the copy place’. This is a
lesson in communication, let us help:
Break – means a brief breather from one another (but your
commitment still stands).
Break Up – it’s over.
Proposing, marriage and children are scary and emotional
Since it’s typically the man’s role to propose, us ladies aren’t always aware of what’s happening until it’s actually happening and as Monica points out ‘There’s a reason girls don’t do this!’
But ladies this is a true lesson in perspective, and the
modern day - understand this is a scary time and your partner is putting their
heart and everything they know on the line…. put him out of his misery and yes
right away, if that is your answer.
Sometimes the
right person is there all along Monica and Chandler got all way through to season 4 without a second glance at each other, queue Ross and Emily’s wedding. They become this couple that you can’t imagine without one another. Sometimes, the right one is already in your life, you just need to take a look around for a second and think. Do it!
Long term
Are you going the same way, because if you’re not it could
spell the end. Phoebe was head over heels when she broke up with Mike in season
9 – we were also devastated! The reason was he was jaded from a previous
marriage and didn’t ever want to go through or risk going through it again,
whereas Phoebe knew she wanted to marry one day. She understood their goals
didn’t align and knew she wouldn’t be happy – sad.
But, thank goodness events gave them both perspective and
Mike a chance to realise their relationship was different. They eventually
marry in season 10 – we need a tissue!Timing is everything
Ross and Rachel, Rachel and Ross...
… just how many times did they get together and break up, consider something more then decide on being friends? Countless! Between season 3 and 10, they never got together officially for more than a coffee to go (unless of course you count the super-quick reunion after Bonnie shaved her head in season 4, or the drunken ‘I do’ in Vegas in season 6). Sometimes, the right person is there at just the wrong time, but if you see it through it could all work out and she could get off the plane to London!
