After watching the final episode, have you ever asked “Why Ted? Why go back to Robin?” I’d be lying if i said i didn’t ask that after watching the finale because it still bugs me out that after so many years of stressing out that they can’t be together, in the end, they still get to be together.
I know that most of you were angered (well including me hahaha) at the season's finale. Robin does not deserve Ted, we all know that. We fell in-love with Tracy, then she was brushed off just like that. But if you think about it, Robin and Ted, still makes much more sense than Ted finally ending up with the mother.
The writers of the series, always had played HIMYM close to heart. They made it feel like we're part of the group, they made us feel that HIMYM is our story, not just some TV series. They made it feel realistic. We have to accept that reality isn't always perfect. We don't always get what we want to in life. There are time that we have to accept what life gives us, just like what had happened to Ted's wife (Tracy). We have to make the most of what we have. In real life, tragedy strikes when we least expect it, hence, Tracy's passing. I know it's sad, but that's how life works. We can't always wallow in our losses. Ted needed to move on. He lost the love of his life, his wife, his everything. What matters is that they've had a great run together. Sure, it may have not been emphasized enough in the series, a clear picture has been painted on how happy they were with one another.
Now why Robin? For me, I guess the only explanation is "Time”. Their relationship is finally ripe, right for the picking. They both have matured from their past selves. No need to be mad at Robin for choosing Barney, and ending up getting divorced. That's how life goes. We think we have the perfect one, but if the circumstances isn't right, things usually ends up sour. We see this all the time in real life. Mommy gets promoted, needs to move away for a while, Daddy gets depressed, Mommy becomes distant, conversation turns into an argument, argument, becomes a fight, next thing you know, Mommy's flirting with her boss in the office while Daddy, goes home drunk every night. They get into a huge fight, and divorce is what comes after.
With Ted ending up with Robin, to me, it's actually the most romantic thing anyone has ever witnessed, the greatest love story ever told. Definitely better than Twilight. It shows that people shouldn't easily lose hope on love. We don't need to rush into things. And for those who falls in love and becomes hopeless romantic, patience really does go a long way. Your efforts are not wasted.
If Robin went into a relationship with Ted right on the first time after they dated, I don't think that there would still be a Robin. She would just leave Ted, just like any other girl who left him and we never saw again. The fact that she got to know Ted first before jumping into their first "relationship" made her love Ted, not only as a lover, but as a dear friend. Same as how she fell in love with the gang. Losing Ted, made her realize how much she really loved him. Without that realization, Robin would just end up dumping Ted without having any regrets. This is why their timing was perfect. There may have been struggles along the way, but their unwavering love for each other still won the battle.
