These two were a long time coming.
They started their relationship off going from neighbors to friends to lovers and back again.
These two have been through a lot but their love for one another outweighed all the negatives and naysayers.
However, was their relationship all sarcastic giggles and rainbows?
It appears our favorite couple had some toxicity in their relationship among all the good things they shared.
Let’s take a look five times they were perfect and five times they were anything but.
And whileThe Big Bang Theorydoes an amazing job at making this topic hilarious, it’s actually quite sad.
These two never seem to be on the same page.
Raj is not wrong.
Penny always dated men who were gorgeous on the outside but lacked intelligence.
He is worthy and valued in all aspects not just in the scientific world.
Penny is a farm-raised girl who longed of becoming a star and loves football and beer.
As friends, these two uplifted each other.
But as a couple, their differences made both of them insecure in themselves and in their relationship.
Both of their insecurities in this relationship are enough to become toxic in their own minds.
Being friends for years made them more comfortable with each other.
They’ve been through so much as friends, what could possibly go wrong as partners?
Even after Leonard and Penny got married, their relationship was the giant elephant in the room.
There are times when Leonard brags about it but there also times where he’s deeply offended by it.
Remember when Leonard dated Priya?
Thankfully, Sheldon trusts Penny and considers her a friend.
For Leonard, having his girlfriend also be friends with his roommate makes everyone’s lives easier.
TOXIC: LEONARD WAS UNFAITHFUL
Fans were split when they found out Leonard cheated on Penny.
Was his admission out of honesty and respect or was he sabotaging the relationship?
They truly defied all the odds.
The stereotype had been broken.
TOXIC: DID THEY SETTLE FOR EACH OTHER OUT OF COMFORTABILITY?
What if they really did settle?
Perhaps they were simply comfortable in each other’s presence and that was enough.
The fact that Beverly liked Penny at all was a godsend.
And on the other hand, Penny’s dad was thrilled that Penny was dating someone with a brain.
