HIMYM's Main Love Story is Nothing But a Plot Hole
How many times have you argued with someone for so long that you both forgot what the argument was about? Yeah, same.
It seems that something similar happened to the main characters of How I Met Your Mother, Ted Mosby and Robin Sherbatsky.
Throughout the seasons, the writers put them in various controversial situations, and fans couldn't help but wonder how those two could end up being together after all of that?
Just remember the argument between Ted and Robin, when he insulted her character because she didn't want children. That happened in season 4 episode 7 titled Not A Father's Day, the one where Barney celebrated his child-free status.
So Mosby and Scherbatsky somehow ended up having a huge fight about their future and Ted said many unpleasant things to his still girlfriend. He said she was a true "ice queen" because of her life choices.
But what's more, at the end of Not A Father's Day Ted's declaration that child-free people are losers is seemingly proven correct. Fans are convinced that in a real life Ted-Robin romance let alone a friendship wouldn't work.
"The only „excuse" I have for Ted is that it was still pretty common to guilt women into wanting families in the 2000s so Ted's opinion was mainstream. He still was really rude tho, no real-life Robin would take that sh*t," Reddit user trillerzap136 shared.
Ted never apologized to Robin for what he said. And the major plot hole is that writers didn't even bother to explain how they managed to survive all that and keep their relationship from turning bitter and resentful.
The showrunners had been separating Ted and Robin for many years, giving them what they've always wanted: freedom for Robin and children for Ted.
But after the Mother's death and Robin and Barney's divorce, they decided it's time to bring them together. Again. Hoping that maybe this time, considering all they have been through, they might actually be a good fit.
