If you had a friend who was in Monica’s situation where at her wedding, her new husband told everyone he was miserable and had doubts about marrying your friend, would you tell your friend to leave him or tell her to forgive and get back with him like Joan, Maya, & Lynn did?
What if the husband was also your friend? basically what would you do if your friend was Monica?

Edit* why don’t you guys answer the question lol? I didn’t intend this question to cause discussion about Monica, I wanted to know if you had a FRIEND in Monica’s situation, what would you do? I didn’t want this to be a place to talk about whether or not Monica’s actions were wrong or right. I asked if you had a FRIEND in her circumstance what would you do.

I’m sorry, but that episode of Girlfriends where Toni told the girls she was pregnant and they acted like she was LYING still pisses me off. They didn’t even give her a second to breathe before hitting her with the “mm‑hmm, sure girl.”

Like… a whole pregnancy? That’s what y’all think she’d fake?
Not a story, not a scheme, not a dramatic moment — a BABY.

And the second the doctor confirmed it, everybody wanted to switch up and be all “congratulations!” No. Keep that same “you’re lying” energy you had five minutes ago.

That episode showed exactly how little benefit of the doubt they ever gave Toni. She wasn’t perfect, but she damn sure deserved better than being treated like she’d fake a whole human being for attention.

I know that Joan's parents came from a different generation but you just don't drop in the city your daughter lives on her birthday of all days and not take her out or even call her just so you can play on a nude beach with girls that are young enough to be Joan's sister.

Every holiday episode we see how much Joan glows with happiness when she's celebrating at her house like Merry Ex Mas for example when she was caroling with William, Lynn, Toni and Maya.

Joan opening up a restaurant was lazy story telling because being a restaurateur was not Joan's personality at all.

One of my favorite performances from Golden Brooks was in Inherit the Lynn from season four when Maya was crying in the car because she couldn't get back into school because a woman was too hungry to help Maya out.

And then I loved her speech calling Lynn a lazy bum who doesn't deserve respect.
