You do realise that apart from conceiving Emma, Ross and Rachel hadn\\\'t been together since \\\"The One with the List\\\"? In season 3? Living together to raise their biological child has nothing to do with romance, especially considering that they didn\\\'t even live together that long IIRC. CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem in this case is not related to them as a couple. Which at the time of Chandler and Monica\\\'s wedding and Emma\\\'s conception was four years ago.

The reason Ross allowed Joey to date Rachel in the first place was that Ross and Rachel hadn\\\'t gone out in six years. Sure there was WillTheyOrWontThey, but the actual romantic couple of Ross and Rachel was seasons 2-3 and hooking up in the season 10 finale. In contrast, Chandler and Monica hooked up at the end of season 4, fell in love over season 5, and stayed together right into the season 10 finale. Also main characters can\\\'t be CreatorsPet, especially when the tension between Ross and Rachel in the first half (and parts of the second half) was a large narrative focus of the show from day one.

And pulling attention from? From what? Chandler and Monica weren\\\'t pushed to the background. None of the six were. Ever to my knowledge. Not even sure if Mike was, though I\\\'m less certain of that. On top of which, the Will They or Won\\\'t They of Ross/Rachel long predates any meaningful reactions or foreshadowing with Chandler and Monica, unless you\\\'re counting dramatic irony or peeing on a jellyfish sting. Mike and Phoebe literally started in \\\'\\\'\\\'season 9\\\'\\\'\\\' when Joey, not having anyone in his phonebook for Phoebe\\\'s double date, yelled \\\"Mike!\\\" at Central Perk and went along with it. Ross/Rachel (or will Ross and Rachel maybe get back together) WAS the main plot (at least up until around season 5 or 6).
