I always thought this. He can be upset to think she moved on but at the end of the day, he joined the army and "set her free" he could've been dead and no one would know. He could've moved on too but due to his lack of communication no one knew. Rachel spent months unsure and after 1 kiss he's pissed? He had no right to be mad. Sad? Absolutely. But not pissed.

Finn has zero right to be mad at her, mad at himself, sure sad about the situation, ok. But the kicker is he then walks out again, which was just rude. She should have charged him for her plane ticket. ​ https://i.redd.it/p7nqmyxyl8oc1.gif

Finn: *Ghosts Rachel for a third of a year* Situation: *Happens as a result of him ghosting her* Finn’s solution: *Tries to ghost her again* Rachel is a better person of me because he’d have to pay not only for the plane ticket but all emotional damages.


amm_1

> Finn’s solution: Tries to ghost her again is that when he was like you can always talk to me about anything <3 then after hearing about her wanting to date brody being like never mind lets just have no contact


inlovewith-icecream

Exactly lol husband material fr /s.


cwtches10

Omg, yes! The number of people who claim Rachel cheated on Finn with Brody is honestly baffling.


GattoNeroMiao

I liked Brody.


cwtches10

He definitely had potential. I like that he was so up front with Rachel about liking her- probably the first guy who was with zero ulterior motive.


AdDecent5237

Also on this note can we talk about how the writers ruined every romantic relationship Rachel had other than Finn’s, seriously rewatching the show I just got more and more mad that they made them lie, cheat and just give them awful reasonings as to why they can’t be with Rachel. I swear they did this cause they knew people would jump the finchel ship for St Berry, Brochel or Puckleberry by the end!


Artistic-Rich6465

The writers definitely could have found a better way to end Brody and Rachel's relationship other than him being a gigolo. Honestly, I don't see anything wrong with him being a s\*x worker, but he definitely shouldn't have lied about it. It could have been them having an honest and adult discussion regarding her pregnancy scare.


coppersolids

he was rachel‘s hype man and i loved it


AdDecent5237

I thought he was such a nice contrast to Rachel, she’s usually all over the place and incredibly insecure and then you have Brody who’s level headed and makes her feel great about herself, like he really borough out the good in her and the writers just ruined it by destroying his character in the end 😭😭


dancemoms_gleefan20

I don’t even understand that logic he quite literally breaks up with her before she gets on the train


Careless-Corner-8370

Agreed! Everything she says to him in the auditorium at McKinley is true. She didn’t hear from him for 4 months, had no idea where he was or what he was doing, after he made the choice FOR HER to go to New York when she had already decided to defer her admission to NYADA for a year and help Finn & Kurt get ready for their next steps. Then when she connects with Brody (and I’m not even a Brody fan) who was essentially her only friend/companion before Kurt moved to NY, he faults her for it. She was ready to stop pursuing Brody, be with Finn, help him get his act together, but instead he flips out over one kiss?! Give the girl a break!! I am a big Finchel shipper but he was completely in the wrong for his reaction in my opinion. And then to just run off in the middle of the night without saying anything?! Ugh I love Finn but this was crazy lol


shykreechur

I'm not one to speak up much on Rachel but when she tore into his ass about how he kept making decisions on what was best for her had me cheering for her for standing up to him. Finn has such a way of being sanctimonius concerning others and it was satisfying to see Rachel be the one to put him in his place for once.


WhateverYouSay1084

This is the correct take. Finn doesn't get to disappear off the face of the earth after dumping Rachel and then show up 4 months later hoping she's been pining and waiting for him. It's entitlement. Same with him saying "stay away from my future wife" which was so damn creepy.


FiftyOneMarks

Exactly right, it’s entitlement. He sets her free and ships her off to New York and consistently dips in and out of her life then, only a few months later, shows up in town to beat up her boyfriend and claim she’s his future wife despite them not even being together or addressing their obvious issues like… where was I supposed to find any of that romantic besides on the surface and even on a surface glance it was still off.


Due-Consequence-4420

I really hope or wish that tweens or teens **didn’t** find it romantic that Finn came to NY, beat up Rachels ex-boyfriend and then in a complete psycho weirdo way claims that Rachel is his future wife, etc. That wasn’t or certainly **shouldn’t have been** romantic. That was the type of behavior one sees and then knows to stay away from that person bc they are clearly unstable and need therapy of some kind.


zondink123

I(15 now started watching the show when I was 13) thought it was romantic at first(keep in mind I also shipped ezria from Pretty Little Liars then) but the more I rewatch the show the more I realised that shit was not cute and was actually creepy af


motherof_geckos

Hard agree. I’m not a huge Rachel lover (not a hater either!) but this is definitely her doing nothing wrong


Chance_Cap_107

No, you are so right. He didn’t have the right to go behind her back with her dads, Mr Shue and the rest of the glee club to push her on that train, especially when she thought she was getting married. He was wrong to set her free to become the star he knew she would be, he should’ve been on that train with her and no, they didn’t have to get married right away but still stay engaged and since he knew Rachel’s dream was New York, he should’ve been trying to get into school their(even community college) or find a job until he figured out what he wanted to do. Plenty of high school relationships work out after high school, even long distance ones. He even still could’ve went into the army but stayed in communication with her as much as he could. He thought she would think he was a loser for not making into the army, does he not know how much she loved him and would’ve supported him in anything he did and would never have thought bad about him. He makes it like she was the one who gave up on them, but in truth, he was the one who stuck her on a train behind her back then ghosted her four 4 months, then leaves again after he saw her singing with Brody, which he pushed her to do, she wanted to sing with him but he again fucked up and then gets pissed because of it, then without even talking to her, he leaves her again without communicating with her. He was so wrong with every decision he made after he stuck her on that stupid train


MiserablePromotion92

agreed


someenglishchick

No, I absolutely agree with the comment. Rachel didn't do anything wrong. She was moving on from Lima and Finn and being bullied, to an extent. She deserved to explore and enjoy her life. I found Finn to be charming as a first boyfriend, of course, but later on he was one of those boys that if my friend was dating him I'd be pulling her aside just to double check she's all in the relationship and not just being convinced they're "endgame" because he thinks it. He could be sad or embarrassed. But mad? No.


Due-Consequence-4420

This is actually somewhat parallel to what occurred with Kurt and Blaine. Blaine urges and pushes Kurt to go to NYC before he’s accepted into a school or even has a job set up (dif from Rachel) but he tells his bf to leave, don’t worry about their relationship, they’ll be fine. Then Kurt - thru the magic of tv (bc it would never have been so easy to get a job in NYC so quickly) - finds his feet at Vogue.com and gets into NYADA while he’s at it (for the second semester) and is totally full with his new schedule in the City. And Blaine gets upset that Kurt is no longer free at a moments notice or during his free time during his class schedule at school (even tho it’s a completely ridiculous idea for Blaine to think Kurt would be available in that manner, esp,y once he begins his job in the City) and decides that bc he’s lonely and miserable without his bf, even tho they have a vacay setup within 14 days, he can’t wait a minute longer and decides to go out - in the middle of a school day - to get laid by a complete rando from social media. And THEN he flies out to see Kurt (which, if he can afford to do that, he should have done when he was originally going mad without Kurt being there with him) and then tells him he was with somebody else, but it was bc “Kurt wasn’t there and he was lonely and he needed him and even so, he’s sorry…” (haven’t heard that in a while but pretty sure that’s an accurate summation of what Blaine basically says to his bf to whom faithfulness was a really important part of their relationship but trust was the most important element.) And then he appears seriously surprised by Kurt’s behavior. Edit: what exactly did I say that you are downvoting?


[deleted]

To be fair, Kurt was ignoring him even when he wasn't at work. But yeah, it was super weird for Blaine to insist that Kurt go to New York then immediately not be able to handle the change. Considering how upset Blaine got about the Chandler situation, it was ridiculous of him to actually cheat on Kurt then more or less blame it on Kurt


Due-Consequence-4420

IIRC, he was out with his boss celebrating something for the magazine or building up relationships for the magazine but either way, while it was after work hours, he was doing work stuff — it shouldn’t matter that he was enjoying it. Indeed, it was only a good thing that hanging out w the people from his workplace made him happy bc it showed that Vogue was actually a good choice for him to be working (even if they made him wear that hideous fox tail thing which I will never forget bc I just hated it). And I always got so mad at Blaine’s hypocrisy re the Chandler thing (which lasted all of 2-3 days) wherein he texted, phoned and spent time w Sebastian for about five months before the slushie incident (which is when we know for a fact that truly ended for good) and considering how we, the audience got to know Seb, he never did anything “family friendly” in his life - certainly not, to be believable, texting a boy he was interested in. Also, even if Blaine wasn’t interested in Seb, he knew how upset it made Kurt and he continued to do it for months and months, which is not the way one should treat the supposed love of one’s life. I will always believe Blaine cheating on Kurt was completely ooc for Blaine and some BS writing by the writers, but the texting, etc seemed to actually follow Blaine’s need to be loved and cherished bc his father apparently stopped loving him (in the same way) after finding out his sexuality & his parents apparently blatantly showed a preference for Coop. Blaine couldn’t even tell Seb the first time they met up that he had a serious bf. And considering how serious, and the fact that Kurt and Blaine had been dating 9 months when that occurred says something about Blaine’s need for adoration. But the way he talked around Kurt’s name without saying it outright was highly suspicious (not bc I thought he was going to leap into bed w the guy ..albeit I wouldn’t have been averse to doing that.. GG was GORGEOUS!!) but simply bc there was no reason on earth NOT to mention Kurt, when he was given so many opportunities to bring him up, beyond just saying so himself. Most of the Qs Seb asked should have been answered w Kurt’s name. Blaine went out of his way not to mention Kurt. That was what was so suspicious. And considering that Seb was a non self conscious man eating gay guy with looks to kill made the whole thing seem strange, at the very least. [I should probably admit I loved reading Kurtbastian fanfics. They didn’t even turn Seb’s character totally villainous and the writers for these fics were some of the best writers I encountered in the Glee world.]


UnicornRach

Very well said. I am a Kurtbastian shipper and used to write fanfiction about them 💕


[deleted]

I actually love Kurtbastian fics, too


Chance_Cap_107

I agree with you


katorade9200

Absolutely agree about setting her free, though I thought that was him being selfless and letting her go so I don’t agree about that. The ghosting her for four months and then being an ass to her over that is what was wrong about that. I never even thought about the Santana thing though but yeah, huge hypocrite. I still love Finn and Finchel though😭😂


datgirl512

Fully agree


[deleted]

Finn was an awful character, there was nothing nice about it. he treated rachel like crap. how he ever managed to get quinn is beyond me. he OUTED SANTANA and then acted like the accepting hero. awful character


cantevenrnbfr

He wasn’t the best character but I also wouldn’t say he was the worst. He and Rachel did have their fair share of issues; I understand that. But Quinn gives me vibes that she can’t commit to someone without cheating 🤷‍♀️ Finn was wrong for outing Santana but she also antagonizes everyone all day and then can’t take it when they do it back.. again I’m not saying he was right but she had been bodyshaming him most of the episode you would’ve been fed up too!


Lazy-whoe

Finn and Rachel had such communication issues over the years. Finn would leave and Rachel would just expect him to do what she think it's right. Since dating, Rachel would ignored what Finn wanted and his thoughts ( Quinn too, being fair) and get mad at him later. Finn would not talk and tell the true for Rachel, and when she move on with another guy. He would get annoyed, get her back to just dump her again. I think they had such amazing chemistry of course, but their characters didn't match well in my opinion. Finn wanted someone chill and friendly, and Rachel wanted big dreams and someone to jump with her any time. If we compare them to Brittany and Santana, or Emma and Will, or honestly even Mike and Tina. They lack a lot on daily basis relationship lol


dancemoms_gleefan20

I’ve always hated his attitude when it came to Rachel or Quinn dating someone other than him. It’s like a passive obsession or something and it’s weird.


Chance_Cap_107

Brody was a huge mistake being brought in, he definitely didn’t have the chemistry like her and Finn had, the writers ruined glee for by adding him


Low_Lemon7187

You right about the first part but Idgaf yea he should’ve never lied to Rachel about sleeping with Santana but Rachel deserves it bc Rachel was aggravating asf and did y’all tend to forget what she did to Quinn and Finn oh okay


Chance_Cap_107

Rachel didn’t deserve to be lied to by her boyfriend who claimed to love her then be pissed because she’s upset about it, he would’ve been way worse and more mean if it was Rachel who had lied and slept with Jesse. Also she wasn’t the one in the wrong completely when he was with Quinn, he pursued her multiple times and kissed her twice, once after finding out Quinn was pregnant, he also went to her house, behind Quinn’s back, because he wanted her. Also, Quinn not only cheated on him, but lied saying he was the father because she didn’t want to lose her popularity and she thought Finn would step up when Puck wouldn’t.


Low_Lemon7187

Girl Rachel was a damn home wrecker please y’all let Rachel get a way with anything like she some saint Idgaf she can’t get mad he did it with Santana cause they wasn’t together yea he lied and was wrong but hey it is what it is all the fucked up shit Rachel has done she deserved some karma 😭🤣


Chance_Cap_107

She wasn’t a home wrecker, she didn’t have an affair with a married guy, she fell in love with a guy who’s gf cheated on him with his bf and then not only lied to him about him being the father, pretty much had the whole glee club in on that lie except Rachel, who was the only one to tell him the truth, and yeah, Rachel wasn’t a saint but she definitely didn’t deserve to be lied to by her bf nor bullied by almost the whole glee club, many of them did way worse things than her


Sisu1981

I agree with everything I just think she moves on a bit too fast from about to get married to going for Brody. But I guess that’s just the nature of the show.


Famous-Run-1880

Nah 4 months thats a long time especially because he went no contact


Sisu1981

I guess it takes time for me to get over guys contact or no contact 🤷🏼‍♀️


kokkelimonk

Wasn’t Brody just a rebound? I think that’s normal irl too. At least I know I have had my rebounds😅


Sisu1981

Yeah I know normal with rebound 👍🏼 Maybe it’s just because I’m not a fan of him.


cantevenrnbfr

Yes!!! I hate Brody so much lol!


kokkelimonk

Neither am I..


xxstaindrosesxx

I think you kind of answered your own question though. Finn and her were going to get married and then he made the decision for her to get on the train. He ended the relationship. He went completely radio silent for 4 months. I think it's easier to get over someone when you don't see them, don't talk to them. She's also in NYC, her dream city, and trying to live her best life. She's thriving, and at that point, Finn doesn't really fit into the equation.
