Rachel and Chandler walked into Central Perk, Chandler walked over to their couch and sat down on it, whilst Rachel ordered their coffees. She walked over to the couch and put their coffee on the table. All of this was done in silence, as Chandler didn't have the energy to talk at that moment. After a couple of minutes of silence, Chandler said to Rachel,
"What am I going to do?" He looked her in the eyes, and at that moment her heart broke, he looked so defeated and he had lost the sparkle that was in his eyes. She felt tears prick her eyes she blinked them away. Then she started to speak to her friend
"I can't tell you what to do, but tell me what you feel, and I can help, you never know sorting through your emotions might help you come up with the solution," she told him softly. Inside she knew what he would decide to do, but she couldn't tell him, because as much as it hurt him, it had to be his decision.
"I fell heartbroken and betrayed. I mean, she was the person I loved, trusted and cared about most in the world, and she cheated on me. I don't know if I can ever trust anyone again, and it's all her fault," Chandler told her, her looked down as though blaming her wasn't allowed.
"Sweetie, its OK to be angry with her, but you also need to know if you still love her, or if the fact that she betrayed you made you lose all the love for her."
"I don't know, at the moment I feel so much hate towards her, but I'm pretty sure I still love her, but does that mean I have to forgive her? Or am I allowed to end things with her?" He looked up at Rachel, again. She knew that he wanted an answer from her, and answer to help him decide what to do, but again she knew that he had to make the choice for herself.
"Chandler I cant answer that, but I'll tell you what I felt with Ross, OK?" He nodded.
"When I found out, I was angry and I didn't want to believe it was true, and I think that most people who have had this happen to them feel those two emotions first. I still loved Ross, but I think in a relationship you have to have trust, and that had gone, as soon as I has accepted that he had slept with somebody else. When we got back together a few months later, I don't think the trust had come back, which is why again it didn't work out. What I'm trying to say, Chandler, is that you don't have to get back together with her, just because you love her, you have to get back with her, as soon as the trust is back. And I mean ALL of the trust. So do you trust her?" She asked him, he shook his head. "I think you have your answer, don't you?" Again he nodded. "Chandler don't I know you love her, but if you want to spend your life with her, then I would wait until she has your full trust back, and also don't make the same mistake I did by going back in the relationship before you feel ready. It may take years to get back together with her, but that may be for the best."
Chandler looked at Rachel, and smiled. He knew that what she was saying to him was things she had never said to anyone, because for the first time somebody understood what she was saying, he also knew that what she wasn't saying out loud was that, finally she had all of her trust to Ross back, and that maybe they could give it another go. Chandler leaned over and gave Rachel a hug. Chandler sighed, and was ready to do the thing he had never in a million years thought he would do. He was going to break up with the love of his life. He stood up and turned to Rachel, who was looking up at him.
"Talk to him," Chandler said and left the coffee house, leaving Rachel to think about her feelings.
Chandler walked back to Phoebe's apartment. He got to her door and paused. He put his hand in his pocket, and pulled out the ring. Looking at it he sighed, debating over whether he was about to make the right decision, or not. Shoving the ring back into his coat pocket, he made up his mind. Knocking slightly on Phoebe's door, he walked in. Monica, Phoebe, Joey and Ross looked up. He turned to Ross, Phoebe and Joey.
"Could you give us a minute?" He asked, they all nodded. Gathering their coats they walked to the door, just as Ross was about to leave, Chandler stopped him.
"Go to Central Perk," Chandler told him, Ross gave him a confused look, "Just go." Chandler told him. Ross left to go to Central Perk confused at why Chandler wanted him to go.
Chandler turned to Monica and motioned for her to sit down.
"We need to talk," he said to her. Monica just nodded, wondering if what Chandler was about to say was good or bad.
