How I Met Your Motherportrayed the perfect love story.
But it wasnt between Ted and Robin.
I want a relationship where being a strong, independent career woman is admired, not frowned upon.
Hulu
I want a supportive relationship, an encouraging relationship, a relationship that gives me space to breathe.
I want my boyfriend to cheer on my career.
Just like Barney has always done for Robin.
Um, when we were dating, did I make you feel needed?
Barney:No, I didnt feel like you needed me at all.
Robin:Thats what I thought.
Uh, Im sorry.
Barney:Wait, thats a compliment!
Youre the least needy woman Ive ever met.
No guys gonna say, Whos your daddy?
to Robin Scherbatsky; youre your own daddy.
And weird survivalist uncle who lives in a cabin with a shotgun blaming stuff on the government.
And that is what makes you the most amazing, strong, independent woman Ive ever banged.
Even though Ted liked to play the role of the perfect boyfriend, he was never right for Robin.
Ted made her get rid of her dogs.
Barney bought her puppies.
Ted bugged her about children.
Barney admitted their relationship took priority over kids.
Ted always saw Robin as a perfect human being but she was never perfect.
She was only human.
Barney knew that since day one.
He saw her flaws.
He saw her commitment issues and abandonment issues and he fell for her anyway.
He loved her for exactly who she was, not for an imaginary woman he pictured inside his head.
Meanwhile, Barney neverwanteda relationship.
No, their relationship was never perfect.
They each had issues to work on.
They each had baggage to overcome.
But they loved each other.
They put aside their fear of commitment for each other.
They took a leap for each other.
I would rather have a relationship like Barney and Robin.
