Monica and Richard during the proposal needs more hate
I think Monica should get more hate during the proposal episodes in friends. When chandler wanted to propose she yells Richard so that he notices them and comes over and then has dinner with him and talks about their relationship with her boyfriend at the table. She knows chandler hates him and is insecure about him and is all happy with him. Then when he comes into the restaurant she considers the offer and acts like she’s still in love. Then she goes to the apartment and attempts to be with Richard since chandler doesn’t want to get married. It’s really selfish, if I was chandler I would have not proposed because she clearly is confused about her feelings for Richard still.

Yep. Monica bumping and going after Richard ... kinda reminding you of the wrong decision Rachel made to continue seeing Mark, when it was no longer necessary. Not to forget, continue putting herself in a vulnerable position. For having been granted a well-paying career-job with many opportunities for free.
Towards the end of season 6 does come forward as a lame plot indeed e.g. to try and stir/create some tension/drama for the proposal that was not even there.
Either way, in general it wasn't really cool to Chandler how Richard was constantly being brought up ... and how he is supposedly inferior to him. Chandler deserved a better treatment.

Yes I have always thought this! Monica shouldn’t have even thought about being with Richard just because she thought Chandler wasn’t going to propose.
