    Since we all know Robin isn’t the mother, because Ted refers to her as Aunt Robin, I’m almost certain that Barney and Robin will end up together at the end of the show. But I think it was a good decision for the writers to break them up. It would take out all the funny out of Barney. But I think it’s good that they had them get together and then break up because then if they DO get together they will at least have a bit of a back story to it not just throw them into a relationship that came out of no where.

    Please tell me that Barney and Robin will not end up getting married. They really don’t make a good couple (quite boring actually), and putting them together didn’t add anything to the show. Producers, please don’t disappoint viewers by making them end up together!
    I know this is unlikely, but it would be great if Robin is the mother.

      I agree. But maybe Ted isnt the father of the kids. Because he always refers to them as ‘kids’ and they don’t refer to him as ‘dad’. So maybe Ted is the uncle? Idk

    I was glad when they got together.
    I also thought that the break up was poorly written and rushed but I hope they get back together near the final season!

    I would love to see them get together towards the end of the series; they complement each other so well that it would be a shame to waste all of that potential.

    It was weird how it got built up then died so quickly! I luv Barney/Robin together but I hope they’re not on and off a lot! But honestly they’re kind of a perfect match!!

    I think Barney and Robin are a perfect match and they should totally get back together again. I think Barney needs to be with Nora first to decide he’s ready for a relationship but not a traditional one like Nora wants. Robin’s secret crush will be back said Ted so maybe it would be fun to have Robin and Barney in a relationship with other first untill they realize they’re jealous. Then they should get together for real.

    I believe at that moment it was necessary to break off the relationship but right now, at the end of season 6 they should how do i say this… “have some coffe?” the truth is if it wasn’t for the coincidence of meeting Nora in the street he would have continued were they left off, of the conversation in the car…
