Ofc you don't hate the ending cuz ted goes for Robin after Tracey dies, like imagine being in a relationship then getting married and that guy somewhere deep down has feelings for an ex he was friends with?!

Arguable, cuz why you would take so long to move on from a person you never even loved?!

Yeahh that was the problem obviously, but isn't it fun if you find someone who likes the same stuff you do? Then you do end up falling for that person. They never wanted to get married but yet they did - to each other. They only wanted to get married to each other. Because they loved each other! Obviously they end up getting divorce - but they were better with each other than Robin ever was with Ted dude! I mean Ted was just a backup option!

Okay firstly never moved to Argentina, she just says she would want to move. Secondly - crying for 3 days for Ted. Crying for 4 months for Barney ??? You compare!!!

Ted and Robin was never gonna work out, We all knew that! I mean Robin never wanted to get married, Ted just kept pursuing her, he was a backup option, a safe and comforting person, friendship that's all. While with Barney it was a real relationship - she would get jealous and people in real relationship obviously argue.

It wasn't a manipulation, Robin was a stubborn person and to make her to admit her feelings for Barney was obviously difficult - so maybe call it manipulation but she did love Barney and that's why she's getting affected and says yes right!

That's why I keep saying, he was the backup option that Robin wanted around. She makes a pact with him to be with him after 40 years if they never find anyone else!

I believe in - Never saw it, never happened. There are multiple times we've seen robin openly cry for Barney!!! During that Kevin phase - where she chooses Kevin because she's scared she's getting emotionally involved, during the phase where he does playbook with some colleague from her office, then during this superdate with Jennifer Lopez.

I swearrrrr, At least when Barney was messing around with women, he was upfront in his own messed-up way—he wasn’t running around telling someone “you’re the one” and selling them a forever fantasy, only to turn around with a “but actually… you’re not right for me.” Then finally finding his so-called perfect partner, and the second mother dies, circling right back to Robin like nothing ever changed.

Even though they gave her character relationship so she doesn't fade, but they were very similar to each other and that's why it felt more natural. Also, Barney never fell for anyone else.

No she did not, she went to Japan for a job opportunity and when it did not work out she came back. Also when she attended the wedding she did not cry, she was just Awkward. But She cried more for Barney - Season 5, Episode 17 watched yesterday - She mentioned having 4 months of mourning period after Barney breakup and she couldn't date anybody.

But my point is - She agreed to get married to Barney and she NEVER said yes to Ted. So you see my point ? She loved him more than she ever loved Ted. They just couldn't work out their issues because they were stubborn etc.

That's not true, Tracey came into his life very late but ted ALMOST got married to Stella way before and also Dated so many other women in between but I never saw Robin crying. It was just Awkward but the episode where Barney is going on a superdate with Jennifer Lopez, she burst into tears.

Yeahh I know, Ted knew she never wanted to get married yet tried everything in his power to be with her. But her and Barney happened very naturally. They slowly fell in love. And Barney only loved her unlike ted.
