I shared Chandler's angst (Kathy)


The Kathy break up episode just aired on re-runs this week so that episode is fresh in my mind.

I also would not have cared for what she did for her "job".

Now, he deviated from how I would have handled it in regards to immediately going with the "you're sleeping with that guy angle". That made no sense and he also seems to have this weird angle as if he'd be ok with her kissing and pawing men for plays as long as he was sure there was no sex on the side.

It would have been an issue for me too, except may response would have just been to end the relationship. I would never be in a relationship in which she was actually physically touching, kissing men and appearing nude or at least partially nude.

I wouldn't stick around at "bitch" and start arguments over it, I'd just leave. There is no distinction in my heart/mind to where I'd be ok with her doing a love scene with someone because it is a "job" and she didn't have "feelings" with the person.

Just the act of actually kissing and doing the scene is the deal breaker. Actually touching someone that way and letting themselves be touched in the way only couples are supposed to touch is a deal breaker for me whether there are "feelings" with it or not.

It would have upset me too. Like I say, I'd just break up because that is a relationship, intimacy line that can't be crossed. Once it's crossed I'm gone.
I'm not really sure where he was going with all of the bitching and arguing. I suppose he was going to need more time to realize it wasn't going to work.

I love when actors say it's just acting.

Well, in that case... do porn. That's just acting too.
