I've always hated their relationship. Though Monica more than Chandler since she did some shady stuff and really let her controlling nature come through when it came to him. I don't think it was ooc for her.

I mean the age gap was NOT the problem with Monica and Richard-- if they had met as two grown-ass adults who were attracted to each other and wanted to date, there wouldn't be anything gross about it, sometimes two grown-ass adults fall in love and one of them is much older than the other but it doesn't suddenly turn the younger partner into a child.

In Monica and Richard's case, however, they were in each other's lives when she WAS a child, he was someone her family knew/loved/trusted, etc, and that is what makes it weird for them to date.

I mean, the actual problem with Monica and Richard's relationship was that their long-term relationship goals were incompatible. The age gap was only weird because he was a friend of the family, and "weird" and "abusive" are two wildly different things.

I loved Chandler and Monica getting together because they were able to take each other's shit. They had patience for each other that their other friends didn't so much for them.

Someone else mentioned and I agree, Richard having seen Monica grow up made their relationship really weird. Even when it originally aired I found it unsettling. Richard and Monica made a lovely couple despite that, but I was relieved when they broke up.
Also, it was really mature of Monica to break up with Richard when she realized they wanted different things, even after Richard was like, "I'll have a kid for you."
She knew that in order to have a child, she needed her partner to want a child too. Not just because he wants to make her happy.
Too often, I saw so many couples become miserable because someone made a sacrifice in regards to whether or not they want kids.
