I've read a bit through this thread and I must say, I have never met such a good fanbase of this ship as this one
I think you guys nearly are right about everything.
But somethings I disagree (no disrespect
)
I really wanted them to stay together but basically the show was right in its ways.
Somethings needed to happen before Robin & Ted could be happy together.
Ted wanted kids. Robin didn't (well what she thinks I believe).
That's why she made the 40 deal (technically after 40 no kids but evolution these days
).
And like you guys said it, why she said 'NO' to Ted in 'No Pressure'.
She loved Ted but like he said:
So personally I think they are right to let Robin not tell Ted why she said 'NO' at the wedding weekend. Ted still didn't have kids. Just before the wedding she submits to her feelings but then it is Ted who realises it is not the best timing.
And too bad life kicks her in the balls when she turned 40, when she knew the 40 deal would give her back Ted, she founds out that the guy she should have ended up with is happy with the beautiful mother of his children.
But somehow (not to be disrecpectful) the Universe made sure they got together in the end. An ending I even foresaw in the pilot episode
