My point exactly, that's why Marshall keeps encouraging Ted to go for Robin. Marshall's bet is of course, they would be together so obviously he would tell Ted that. As a friend, I think Marshall thinks that Ted needs the space so he asked Robin to move out to clear his thoughts.

I have to say something that he loves you just way too much to say. You got to move out." This scene was golden, one of the scenes worth rewatching the show for, the whole show is good but this sceneo is finding a needle in a haysack. Many good ones, but this is one of the best.

@Tim Jones That's probably the most sensible comment I've seen regarding this episode to date. The more I watch this scene the more I'm convinced that Robin was lying. I feel as if telling Ted 'no' prevented him for making a decision that he would have regretted for the rest of his life all for the sake of making Robin happy. Letting Ted go knowing how emotionally unstable she was at the time proves how much she really loves him.

[@drangedhermit1]

I couldn’t agree more. To relate this to another show I like, Robin is the HIMYM version of Penny from TBBT. Both characters are selfish manipulators with daddy issues that stem from their dad wanting them to be a son. This was the first time that she thought of Ted before herself. I think Kevin had a lot to do with this. Kevin was a good guy that I feel had good influence on Robin. It’s unfortunate that she was selfish and cheated on him, plus on top of that didn’t have the stones to come clean. People think she was a strong person and while she was tough like Penny in regards to her taking care of things (fighter, gun enthusiast, etc), deep down inside she is a very weak person.

[@princepoddar2840]

Bro not only did , they did the ted the Robin thing just before the wedding where ted let go of Robin again when she floated in the air. But they still chose the ending

[@Thialas]

yeah, the fucking morons gave us a shit ending. I believe one of their pathetic excuses for robin and barney not working out is that the writers said some shit about "some people just don't change", which is true. But we've seen Barney change throughout the series. All for them to flush his development down the drain. If he truly would not have changed, he'd have remained the same character from the 1st time we saw him to the last. Another excuse is they said they had already filmed the ending right from the start, and with the kids being older it'd be hard to pull of a different ending, which once again, is bullshit. They could just have made the kids super old to exagerate the comedy of ted taking too long to explain the story, and then him being shocked at how old they are or something. Either way, point is the writers were shit, they ruined everything with the ending.

[@HBQ]

​@@Thialas yes, agreed the reasons are bs. however, absolutely no part of me has a hard time believing barney and robin would have gotten divorced. i know people love that couple but i feel like the show showed multiple times that they both bring out the worst in each other (e.g. their first breakup and when they both cheat on their partners). i just don't think the ending should've had ted and robin come together either. plus pretty damn pointless to have a wholeass season centered around a couple's wedding to just break them up in one episode. just absolute shit planning through and through.

[@dani_alyse]

Robin bringing up their “deal at 40” always makes me feel like she wanted Ted around as a safety net. She wanted him to still give her the same amount of love and special attention he always has. If Ted marries someone else, that goes away, which is why I think Robin only ever wanted him when he was with someone else. I don’t blame her for feeling that way. I think we all have people in our lives who we love (just not in the way they need us to) who we don’t want to be with because we don’t make sense as a couple, who we also don’t want to be with anyone else because we’d miss them being our person. And Robin did the most selfless thing she could here by telling him no. She didn’t love him in that way, and so despite needing him as a friend, she let him go.

@@detectivedaffodil437 it's the way I perceived the show. People are angry because the title is "How I met your mother" but the mother was barely seen throughout the show but failed to understand that the point of the show was just to show how he indeed met her. Basically it was Robin who led Ted to the mother. Ted wanted Robin to be "The One" but she wasn't (given their different views in life) and it led him to look for someone to give him the same outlook that he has. The mother's color is yellow because it portrays happiness, comfort and security while Robin's was blue. It may be sad but it also causes feeling of calmness and familiarity. No matter how Ted was hurt because of Robin, he will always go back because he always knew her by heart. Yellow represents love being easy and not complicated whole Blue shows if you are destined for each other, you will really end up together no matthet what.

[@IschmarVI]

He finally managed to let go off robin, then he fell in love with tracy. He realized, that the door with the name "robin" is closed. But then, 6 years after tracys death, he realized something: That door isn't closed anymore. So yes, if tracy hadn't died, ted and robin wouldn't have (presumably) gotten together, because that door would have stayed closed ... for Robin. I don't know, whether Robin is the love of his life or if Tracy is. And frankly, it doesn't matter. All that we can do, is to love our next as much as we can. Because its, what we do best.

@@Temeria4ever mate they fucked up. It's not that people don't understand it. It just flies directly in the face of the premise of the show and it causes people to think that the writers don't care about the characters just the fan service surrounding the characters. They needed to end it like Friends and it was just disappointing. It ruins Robin as a character as it makes her decisions mean nothing. She was wrong she secretly did want Ted and teenage children. Of course travelling around the world wasn't what she wanted. Like it was so back handed to see her hold these beliefs and then just boom gone.

[@Temeria4ever]

Heath Kruidenier what in god’s name are you talking about? You must have been watching a different show than the one I’ve watched. There is literally nothing that goes against any character. Robin and Ted had chemistry, what they lacked was timing. While Ted wanted to get married, have kids and settle down. Robin didn’t want to have kids and wanted to Roam the world and focus on her career. But by the time they got back together, Ted already have had kids, and robin finally left her job back in 2020 “it was in a deleted scene” and was ready to settle down. Also the Ending literally has absolutely nothing to do with friends. I have no idea why you have decided to bring that up.

A person can love more than one person in life, and Robin said she didn't love Ted here because at this moment, she loved Barney. When Barney was gone, however, and Ted no longer had Tracy and had already had his kids, they could finally be together with nothing to hold them back.

[@Beatle911]

Ted and Robin getting together in their 50s doesn't have to be the passionate young love that Ted was seeking as a younger man. It could just be two adults who like each other's company, settling down, and having a mellow relationship with a sexual component. Happens a lot with older couples that have lost a partner in a previous marriage. I just never thought Ted/Robin were written to be clearly compatible. The S9 backlash came because they WASTED episodes on the wedding, rather than walking us through time to show how the characters evolved. Robin was incapable of settling down and having a traditional family, because as Ted explained it, she was trying to validate herself through opportunities after the trauma caused by her father that fostered a feeling of inadequacy.

Even though I would've liked Ted and Tracy together forever, as well as Barney and Robin, I'm fine with the finale. Life just doesn't always go the way you think it's gonna go. Trials come when you least expect them, and I like that the show portrayed that side of life. I believe that, deep down, Robin always loved Ted. There's a reason why she was so upset when he was marrying Victoria. Feelings are way too complicated to be so strict about them. Maybe there was a time when Robin didn't have strong feelings for Ted, but that can change. That's why I love this show so much. It tells real, humane stories.

[@younghex9577]

Andrés Reyes Yes some one else gets it. I hate that there are so many fans that hate the show because of the ending. Like life isn't clean cut like that. And you got to make yourself happy. Moving on after Tracy was Ted finding happiness again. Robin was always who this was about, I think that went over a lot of people's heads so the ending surprised them. They all expected the mom to be the finally and that wasn't the case from the beginning it was about Robin.

[@je1465]

Yeah I agree with op. But ... hurts . Hurts to see him get over his wife, even after six years. Maybe I’m too old fashioned, or too narrow minded, but I think of love with only one person, and if it’s the right one (i see Tracy and ted as a pretty good pair ) the love should last last forever. Plus it’s enraging how robin pulled a 180 and chilled with ted after all that time. I mean sure there are some feelings no one can deny that. But she was so shit with him that it pissed a lot of people off. The divorce between Barney and robin yeah that seems more like life lol

Watching this series reminded me that holding on to someone who doesn’t even care for you is not worth it.. even if you don’t want to give up... even if you have the best intentions in the world.. it will not matter to a girl who doesn’t even give a damn about you!!! Letting go is hard... but it will be the most liberating thing you can do gentlemen... and I have been in this situation.. and believe me when I say... no girl is worth it unless she gives you the same and equal treatment!!!!

You can love someone but not be in love with them. Just because a woman turns you down and dates someone else doesn't mean he is a jerk.

And you know the rule, if a guy calls himself a nice guy and refers to other guys as jerks then he is not a nice guy.

This is true. And it can be reversed too, of course, from a girl's point of view. Ladies, if a guy doesn't treat you correctly, let go, though it's the hardest thing to do, but as said above, it will give you your freedom and that, is priceless!!

Still hate Robin and Ted ending up together. As if Tracey was just a birth machine so Ted could have his family and please don't tell me about Robin not being able to have kids. Ted and Robin could have adopted and I am sure they would have loved their adopted children just as much, and if Robin didn't want the responsibilities she still shouldn't end up with Ted.

People are acting like Barney and Robin were perfect for each other and completed each other in ways Ted and Robin couldnt... But what's the difference really? Both relationships broke up because of Robin's career drive. If he loved Barney more than Ted, she would choose Barney over her career. Or she wouldnt be waiting for the chance for something to happen to break off the wedding, or think about running off with Ted. All in all, her character development was the poorest amongst the characters. She always wanted what she couldnt have. Ted was there, ready to marry her if she said the word, but Barney was unpredictible and he was always a challenge for her. I think she fell in love with the fact that a character like Barney decided to settle just for her rather than Barney himself. Then Ted and Tracy got married, had children, which made her jealous of the mother. So who she loved more in the end, i dont think we'll ever know. That fact wont change just because she married Barney. It was mostly because right place right time never happened with Ted and Robin. And Barney's ending was perfect. It would be unrealistic to think he would change his ways for a woman, but for a daughter? He's been saying how he is ready to be a father since the 7th season...
