@@justindeliwe8065 sheldon is voiced AND played by jim parsons! what an outstanding actor! oh wait, it's a live action show

"HOWAAAARRRRD!!!!"

Me too! It’s the most realistic thing in the show! 🤣🤣🤣

Yeah, same

I love Sheldon and Penny's friendship.

Chocolate milk and Eggos, please!

We need a "Young" franchise for all the characters. Young Leonard, Penny, Raj, Howard, Bernadette, and Amy

Can you wait another 4 years or so for that?

All we need is Young Leonard and Penny

I mean, while some of the best moments come from improv, it can easily go wrong or go too far or become too much. Look at your average dungeons & dragons session and that stuff can go off the rails really fast!

@@kateorgera5907 Yes but we are talking about a pre recorded show: Anything that is not good can be cut at editing; and they take multiple takes all the time, so it is not as though it creates a time problem.

She was making out with Stuart but she was thinking about Leonard, that's why she said his name

Same, I come from a family that has constantly argued when I was young that led to a few divorces. Even now I can't stand it and either leave the room or try to resolve it whenever one is about to break out.

I wouldn't want a partner who either didn't trust me when I help out a former partner or I don't trust when they help out a former partner.

Too controlling, not ok

I agree 100%! At least this is one of the few times Leonard stands his ground and gets a concession from her in the end. Personally if a girlfriend sprung the same situation on me and refused to see my point of view, that would be a deal breaker for me. Trust is one thing. Inviting trouble by living with an ex for "a few weeks" is just dumb. I wouldn't do it to her, nor would I put up with her doing it to me. It's more about respect than trust. IMHO.

The action of having him sleep at her house isn't a problem, the bad part is that she didn't even bother mentioning it to him, or the fact that he's an ex boyfriend

@@shomershabbos6291 I agree that Penny should've done a better job communicating by telling Leonard, but communication is a two-way street, and when she did tell him he let his insecurities get the better of him.

Interesting take. I am totally on Leonard's side regarding the specific issue of the ex sleeping over. I personally find it highly inappropriate. But I'm surprised so many (you and the replies here and Eric) are cool with it, considering I've met several guys who wouldn't even be okay with me having communication with ex's let alone letting them come over for anything even "innocent."

@@cassieberringer7427 It's perfectly understandable. I'm not saying I think there's a right or wrong in this scenario. It's all about personal preference and what you're comfortable with. As mentioned, I think Leonard is perfectly within his right to feel uncomfortable about the situation, and to voice his concerns. At the same time, Leonard has been shown to feel very insecure about their relationship. It was the driving force behind the A plot of the last episode, for one. The problem for me isn't so much how he feels, but how he responds. Penny's at fault as well for making assumptions and not asking Leonard beforehand, there's no doubt about that, but Leonard doesn't really try to hear Penny out or to explain why he has problems with it. It's unreasonable for Penny to expect Leonard to just be okay with it, or to hide it from him if she thought he wouldn't be okay with it, but it's also unreasonable for Leonard to just shut her down, basically say she's being stupid, and then continue to escalate their argument without even trying to look at the situation from her point of view. He's so threatened by the idea of her having an ex sleeping on her couch that he's not picking up on the underlying implication that she's confident enough in her relationship with him that it's a non-issue for her. Neither of them are doing a good job of communicating. Penny didn't consider Leonard's feelings and doesn't really explain why she thought it was a good idea to let the ex sleep on the couch, and Leonard immediately takes a defensive stance where he's actively sabotaging any chance at the two of them just having a rational conversation by being untrusting, condescending, passive-aggressive and unwilling to look at her side of things. It's no wonder they both end up just yelling at each other.

tbh this one's a really tricky one... I mean who's ever gonna be okay with an ex sleeping in your spouses home with him/her for several weeks... especially if its just announced like that but at the same time it really is the other person's own life and choice. but I do feel like that it's a boundary that's a bit far to cross over so I'm more with Leonard on this. his reaction is normal. penny's actions of having an ex sleep over for multiple weeks isn't a normal boundary for relationships

To be fair, not all couples dispute by shouting. Some calmly talk things through, some become passive aggressive (which is in some ways worse, but no shouting). Shouting is not the only answer, but that is something you'd have to work out with the person in question.

@@kateorgera5907 Well fighting and shouting is pretty normal in a mariage or longer relationship. Those pink glitter perfect couples like you see them in movies are not actually real. So I unterstand his point

Umm no? Like Penny said, all couples fight like this. And their relationship definitely improves throughout the seasons.

i think their relationship is not toxic cause they're in love with each other enough to not be offended at jokes like their friends saying he's not good enough for her. When honestly she's the settler

@@aarushijha5772 Agreed

@@crimsonxero5924 The fact that they're fighting is not what makes them toxic, but the specific reason why they're fighting. The fact that Leonard doesn't trust Penny to not cheat on him should raise a major red flag.

Meh, all couples have disagreement, calling everything toxic seems to be the new fad
