Chandler suspects Kathy of infidelity, which she finds offensive; later, when he tries to meet her for reconciliation, he finds her cheating on him with her co-star Nick.
Kathy was initially Joey’s girlfriend, but she cheated on him with Chandler. Chandler realized his mistake almost instantly and confronted Joey, which enraged Joey, and they had a fight, during which Joey even punished Chandler for breaking the bro code. But, eventually, he forgives both of them, and Kathy and Chandler start a relationship.
Afterward, Chandler finds Kathy’s play quite sexual with her co-star. Chandler accuses her of infidelity, which offends Kathy, and she leaves the premises. Chandler, acknowledging that he made a mistake, goes to Kathy’s place to settle the issue, but there he finds Nick’s pants in Kathy’s living area and clearly understands that she is cheating on him. That ended their relationship and shattered Chandler for a few further episodes.
Chandler had a few flings and a major serious relationship throughout the Friends series, though Janice's recurrence was rather annoying and Kathy's infidelity did affect him, his most serious relationship was with Monica Geller, whom he eventually marries and has children with. He had commitment issues, so he had the fewest partners in comparison to the other five friends.
How did Chandler and Kathy meet?
When Chandler decided to ask Kathy out after seeing her in Central Perk, he discovered that she was already waiting for a date—with Joey. Despite his friendship with Joey, Chandler starts to have strong feelings for Kathy as they get to know each other. He eventually discovers during a haircut that she has feelings for him, and they kiss.
When Joey finds out, it almost destroys their friendship, and Joey even considers leaving until Chandler agrees to get in a wooden crate and reflect on the ways he wronged Joey. Joey finally decides to forgive Chandler and releases him from the box when Kathy arrives to say she cannot be with him because she doesn't want to end their friendship. After being urged by Joey, Chandler follows Kathy outside and kisses her to start their romance.
Amidst Chandler's initial insecurities regarding his sexual prowess in comparison to Joey, he was later able to greatly impress Kathy after seeking advice from Monica and Rachel. Monica gave him a diagram and a pattern to follow when touching the various erogenous zones for greater results, which apparently proved to be very pleasurable.
When Chandler goes to see Kathy perform in a play, he learns that Nick, her male co-star, is involved with her in a scene with extreme sexual content. She is confronted by Chandler after he begins to suspect that she is cheating on him. Kathy leaves Chandler after feeling insulted. He later visits her apartment and discovers Nick's pants in her living room, realizing that she had sex with him. Chandler is devastated for the following few days after their relationship comes to an end.

Paget Valerie Brewster, an actress, and singer was born in the United States on March 10, 1969. Her appearances as Kathy in the fourth season of the NBC comedy Friends helped her gain initial notoriety. Her breakthrough performance was on the CBS crime thriller Criminal Minds as FBI Supervisory Special Agent Emily Prentiss. She was a regular cast member from 2006 to 2012, made two guest appearances, and then made a comeback in 2016.

How were Chandler’s other relationships?
Chandler didn’t have much of a relationship due to his fear of commitment, so he was always limited to flings. He was traumatized at the age of nine, on Thanksgiving, as his parents divorced on that day. Thus, he developed a feeling of detestation for holidays and a sarcastic sense of humor as coping mechanisms. His joking way of introducing himself was, “Hi, I am Chandler, and I make jokes when I am uncomfortable.” However, he was then able to make a few relationships, in which his emotions were involved-
Janice
Maggie Wheeler played the recurring role of Janice. She was a bothersome girl who had an odd laugh and used the jargon "Oh my god!" in an ear-piercingly high-pitched tone. Chandler tried his best to break up with her but was unable to do so until a particular circumstance occurred and she voluntarily left - only to return in the second season as a married woman whose husband is having an affair. Chandler didn't know at the time that the woman with whom he was constantly chatting on a dating site was none other than Janice, and when he finally meets her, he decides to have a serious relationship with her this time. She was, however, caught kissing her soon-to-be ex-husband by Joey, and when Chandler finds out, he tells her to leave because he doesn't want to ruin her family. This breaks his heart.
She does, however, continue to return in later seasons, though never as a lover of Chandler; in fact, Janice briefly dated Ross in season 5. Ross loved spending time with her, but Janice thought he was too whiny and annoying, so she dropped him off at Central Perk.
Monica
Monica Geller is a head chef and Ross’s sister; her character is portrayed by Courteney Cox. During Ross’s wedding with Emily in season 4 in London, she got drunk and sought Joey for a one-night-stand, though she found Chandler. What initially started as a fling turned into a real relationship in season five, but both of them were afraid of the reaction of the other friends and thus tried to keep it a secret.
Chandler and Monica came out in public about their relationship in season six and eventually got married in season seven. Though there were a few difficulties, they handled them pretty well and became a happily married couple. To everyone’s shock, Chandler was the first one in the group to get married, despite his fear of commitment.
They decided to start a family as their marriage and trust grew stronger, but they were having difficulty conceiving. A gynecologist told them that Monica's uterus is a rather inhospitable environment for sperm, and Chandler had sperm motility issues. They could have conceived naturally, but there was a very slim chance. Monica declined surrogacy because she did not want the child to be part of Monica and no Chandler. Then they finally decided to adopt a baby.
They found Erica, who chose them for her baby and eventually gave birth to twins, Jack and Erica, named after their maternal grandfather and biological mother, respectively. And as cliched as it sounds, Monica and Chandler lived happily ever after.
