The Terrible Lessons of the How I Met Your Mother Finale
1. If you find your true love, it will take you 35 years, you will get ten perfect years with them, and then they'll die a slow death, and you'll be single again to take care of two kids on your own.
2. When you've had a few disagreements in a marriage, just cut your losses and get a divorce instead of holding to your vows.
3. Remember that crush you had on that guy/girl you could never get because you blindly thought you were perfect together, but really you were all wrong for each other? Well, if you have two kids, grow to be fifty, and then have your first wife die, AND your crush divorces your best friend and then exhausts her/his career and gets tired of playing the field, THEN you two can be together, so always hold on to that ridiculous fantasy and never come to the notion that there are other people better suited for you...
4. People can't change. A player will always be a player, and later get someone knocked up and only ever love his mistake of a child.
5. We only choose to get dumber and uglier haircuts as we grow older.
