10 Reasons Why Ross Geller Is TV's Biggest Ever Assh*le

10. The One Where He Treats Emily Appallingly

Emily Waltham is Ross Geller€™s second wife, and boy does she get a raw deal. After a whirlwind romance of just six weeks, they decide to get married, and it€™s all downhill from there. He says the wrong name at the wedding, which is nigh-on unforgivable, but then compounds things by deciding it€™d be a good idea to take Rachel €“ the person whose name he said - on the honeymoon as well. It€™s never made explicit, but the clear undercurrent is that Ross wants to make the best of a bad situation €“ in other words, maximise his chances of getting laid. Later, he bombards Emily with phone calls €“ despite her telling him she doesn€™t want to talk €“ and mopes when he doesn€™t get his own way. He even drags Chandler€™s ex Janice into things, when he starts revenge dating her after discovering Emily has moved on. The final insult comes after Emily has remarried. She calls Ross and leaves a voicemail saying she wants to talk to him about getting back together. Ross just ignores it, because that€™s what a rational adult who faces life head on would do.
