Spoilers for HIMYM. Or...spoilers for something that happened recently and TPTB talking about why it happened.

This is me not able to roll my eyes harder. I'm not even that invested in Barney/Robin, but this is pretty lame. This is completely typical of writers who think that relationships = sweater-vests and bed-and-breakfasts. They have no clue of how to write outside that, and so so many shows stay in perpetual will-they-won't-they UST. I swear that relationships can be interesting and funny and not involve sweater-vests or bead-and-breakfasts. SERIOUSLY. It just takes a bit of creative energy. Just a bit.
Anyway, back to the specifics of HIMYM. The answer doesn't really explain why the breakup was so lame. I really can understand them wanting to break them up, but why not put the effort into it that they did getting them together?
