They include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n<p>1. He tried to convince a self-defence instructor to help him &#8220;scare&#8221; Rachel and Phoebe.<\/p>\n<p>2. He tried to hook up with his first cousin.<\/p>\n<p>3. He&#8217;s actually quite manipulative in his relationships.<\/p>\n<p>4. He has a relationship with one of his students.<\/p>\n<p>Lovett writes:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Think about everything we know about Ross. He\u2019s very jealous. He\u2019s possessive. He\u2019s arguably emotionally-abusive.

Could she no longer handle his nice guy syndrome and homophobic snickering? Did she decide to take full custody of her son?&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Did Ross even fight her for Ben, or just let him go, shifting his focus to the new baby he had with the woman of his obsession?
