Do you think Ross was in the wrong?

So I’ve watched friends on Netflix more than five times. Well I’ve had this debate in my mind whether Ross was in the wrong during his break with Rachel ?

My opinion is that he shouldn’t have lied about the situation and just been upfront about it. Alcohol was involved so maybe he wasn’t all the way there.

Next is where they thought about getting back together. Rachel wrote that 18 page letter. Would you read something that long just to get someone back? Was it reasonable if her to do instead of just talking it out?
