There are speculations that Robin and Barney will either wed and divorce, or not go through with the wedding at all. "But we've already seen a reception," others would say. Then again, this is How I Met Your Mother. There are always some tricks up the writers' sleeves. In the Magician's Code.
How I Met Your Mother Season 9: Top 5 Reasons Barney and Robin are Right for Each Other
Robin and Ted shippers have not completely given up. Like Marshall Eriksen, many HIMYM fans believe it will still be Robin and Ted in the end. (This is secondary to theories that Ted will eventually become a widower.) Now here's why Robin and Barney belong to each other.
5. Barney gets Robin. He sees her flaws without any goggles, but he loves her, anyway. Obviously, the same thing goes for Robin.
4. Barney and Robin make a great love story. The series may be called "How I Met Your Mother," but HIMYM has been largely a Barney-Robin story. "Hi, have you met Ted?" Barney asks Robin in the series premiere. Robin may have dated Ted first, but it was only the beginning of their story.
3. Robin loves Barney more than Ted ever loved her. Ted has always been about what he could get from a relationship. But Robin has always been about whether or not Barney's happy - or will be happy with the decisions they make together.
2. Robin and Barney draw strength from each other. They broke up when they realized they were making each other physically hideous, and in effect, unhappy. But the truth is, they were so at home with each other. In challenging times, they draw strength from each other. He's always been into fooling around, she's always been terrified of all things serious. But together, they dive fearless into the unknown.
1. To Robin, Ted has always been the nice guy she couldn't bear to hurt. It is true that she loves him. But not in the way that she loves Barney. Not in the way that Barney loves her.
