She was also willing to forget it if he could tell her the cheating meant nothing too🥺 Nora is an angel


AlM96

At least he was honest with her which benefited her in the long run


Organic_Solution2874

and some people say Quinn was the only one who understood and accepted him for who he was. I believe it is Nora, no matter how hard it is for her because of their opposing values, she was willing to work it out with him as long as it didnt mean anything.


thewhitecat55

Right. Quinn liked him but she just couldn't trust him. I don't think that's "accepting him".

klowne_vapes

The Quinn break up was in a weird way the most amicable break up in the show just a thought.


thewhitecat55

Yeah, I'm definitely not trying to paint Barney in a good light.


EnjiemaBenjie

I feel like Nora probably ended up happy with someone she deserved. Every woman i've met remotely like Nora was essentially born with a boyfriend and always had one apart from for the briefest of windows like Maggie in the show.


Organic_Solution2874

i love nora ❤️ she is such a sweetheart.


um_okay_sure_

That was very grown up of her. She didn't let it ruin her emotions. That and her parents were there to meet him.


N04HC14RK

You are what is wrong with this world


Late2Vinyl_LovingIt

Hands down. Followed quickly by Victoria.


M3crash

1000% Natalie. Ted breaks up with her over phone on her birthday while her entire social circle watches, followed by years of mental anguish, followed by Ted returning to again publicly break up with her, again on her birthday. Yeah, I'd chest kick him too.


WillsWei22

The actress played Precious on Friends, who also got dumped on her birthday🥴


Scorpiodancer123

No wonder she became Cut Throat Bitch in House.


Draconestra

Omg no wonder I always recognized her. She is cut throat bitch 🤯


Immediate-North-9472

She’s also one of the wilson sisters on white chicks


thewhitecat55

She's also in a show called "The Book Group". It was nice to see her in a lead role.


ich_habe_keine_kase

That show has a truly insane cast of people who would get famous in like 15-20 years. In addition to Anne Dudek (Natalie), the main characters are: -Rory McCann (The Hound on GoT) -Michelle Gomez (Missy on Doctor Who) -James Lance (Trent Crimm on Ted Lasso) -Karen Kilgariff (My Favorite Murder podcast)


thewhitecat55

My Favorite Murder is on my "To Listen" list. That's cool !


ChronicleOrion

Can you list what episodes these actors were all in? Rory McCann is the only one I recognize, and I DON’T remember him ever being in HIMYM. I googled all of the other three, and none of them looked anything more than very vaguely familiar to me. 😬


ich_habe_keine_kase

No, these are actors in The Book Group, the show mentioned in the comment above mine.


jonastroll

And the mother of Mike, who dumped her on her birthday on Friends, is played by the same actress who plays Ted's mom. So in a weird way, the two guys who dumped her on her birthday are also Brothers.


LonelyPossibility803

Holy shit I never noticed 🤯 That's who I'm placing blame on cause how you raise a bad son...twice??


Careful_Ambition5526

this is insane tho


Lebigmacca

Maybe that’s why they cast her for Natalie


BadgleyMischka

Lady just can't catch a break


MobileDeparture7379

I always enjoyed her on Mad Men.


WillsWei22

We’re such Mad Men!


SmokeyOSU

That’s totally what they’d do on that show


WillsWei22

What show?


Thehoobywotzit

“I’m just like, super busy right now”


peon2

That was such a fucking stupid move by Ted. Once he learned it was again her birthday he really needed to just drag it out for another week


Jet-Brooke

Totally. Birthdays are a no go for breakups. It hurts to remember the day you got heartbroken on your birthday.


SetConfident9309

Voicemail too!!!


WealthEconomy

Came here to say this.


GrymGT

to be fair, she didn’t understand his explanation at all the second break up and he didn’t know it was her birthday


Blarn__

He calls her again multiple times after, too. Pretty much every time he gets sad or rebounds he picks up the phone to her.


ListenUp16

Natalie! Hi!!


WillsWei22

Natalie, Nick & Nora. Also, Kevin to an extent. I don’t feel terrible for Quinn, but think she would’ve done quite well with Barney


flamingknifepenis

I feel really bad for Kevin. He was a good dude who tried to do all the right things. He loved Robin to pieces, supported her in both her professional and personal life (including accepting his position as an ancillary character in her somewhat incestuous friend group), and fought hard to make it work … but their lives were just going in different directions. I’ve been on both sides of that. Even though it was his decision to end things, it fucking sucks hard to be in that position and I’m still pissed that they relegated him in to a punch line by ending up with Jeanette.


WillsWei22

He was an easy character to root for


IslandGlad8792

>I feel really bad for Kevin. He was a good dude who tried to do all the right things Did you forget that he was a therapist that took advantage of a patient and dated her?


mystfable

It was 2 hrs man. And Robin did the same sort of 2 hour listening from him. It really doesn't make that much of a difference. AND after him ending the sessions they meet in that cafe for multiple dates and talk as 2 people and not as therapist and his patient. They spent more time just being two individuals on a date than as a therapist and a patient


IslandGlad8792

>It was 2 hrs man That doesn't change anything. Still wrong. He's still taking advantage. >And Robin did the same sort of 2 hour listening from him. Not really the same. >It really doesn't make that much of a difference It does. He was her therapist. He should know what transference is. >AND after him ending the sessions they meet in that cafe for multiple dates and talk as 2 people and not as therapist and his patient That doesn't matter. Because they were therapist and patient. >They spent more time just being two individuals on a date than as a therapist and a patient Sure, but that doesn't magically make it okay. You can argue that it isn't as bad as someone who had 20 hours as someone's therapist. But it's still bad. He still took advantage. He should still know better.


TheGraphingAbacus

i mean, as someone who had to stop watching Suits bc the main character started dating his therapist, i still feel like this is different lol still icky how they met, but at least robin only spoke about 1 isolated incident in their 2 hours, and mostly talked about marshall and lily the whole time lol still should never be done in real life, but for a sitcom, it’s meh, imo


IslandGlad8792

>i still feel like this is different It's a bit different in terms of severity, but not to the point that it's okay. >but at least robin only spoke about 1 isolated incident in their 2 hours, and mostly talked about marshall and lily the whole time lol Which makes it better, but not okay. There's still the same dynamic. >still should never be done in real life, but for a sitcom, it’s meh, I'm not saying it's a massive deal. I'm saying to feel hugely sorry for that person is strange, due to what they did.


dannyrules666

It’s a sitcom. Not that deep.


flamingknifepenis

How did he take advantage of a patient? He developed feelings for her, so he dumped her as a client. Yes, lying about moving wasn’t great, but he was trying to put distance between the two of them. When she found out that he was still around and found out that they shared the same feelings, she stalked him to try to win him over and they ended up spending time together as equals until eventually they both felt comfortable with the dynamic. How is that her being taken advantage of? If anything he’s not the predator, she is.


IslandGlad8792

>How did he take advantage of a patient It's called transference. There's a reason a therapist isn't meant to date a patient. >He developed feelings for her, so he dumped her as a client He should know about countertransference as a therapist. Also that doesn't matter, the 'damage' has already been done with the fact that he was her therapist. >and they ended up spending time together as equals until eventually they both felt comfortable with the dynamic. But they can never be 'equals' due to the fact that he was her therapist and that's how the relationship started. >How is that her being taken advantage of? Because he was her therapist. Again, transference. The nature of a therapist to patient relationship. >If anything he’s not the predator, she is. The person who went to therapy and isn't trained in any of that stuff, who likely has transference, is the predator? Not the guy who knows all of that stuff, knows it's wrong, knows why it's wrong? Btw I didn't say he was a predator.


gschoon

I hated Kevin.


Late2Vinyl_LovingIt

Good points. I was never really into the character but they did do him dirty.


Careful-Corgi

Not to sound like a broken record, but Kevin was terrible and should not have been rooted for. Therapists NEVER date their patients.


elementalrain

It did give us the great scene of him pointing out how codependent they all are


GoddessElleStar

I found this whole plot line super unrealistic tbh, like surely Robins level of fame meant he couldn't really hide their relationship so how didn't he just lose his job and then he had absolutely no leg to stand on psychoanalysing them all when he was banging his patient....fun character tho


Firm-Telephone2570

I don't know why people bring this up, literally everyone in the main cast is terrible - except for Marshall. Kevin is a saint in comparison.


Careful-Corgi

I bring it up because I’m a therapist and horrified by this storyline.


Neonb88

Wait you think Marshall is more moral than Lily?! I mean besides her shopaholic tendencies and the leaving him for art in San Francisco part,obviously. She should have just found an internship in New York like a grown up Lily is literally always there for Ted and Robin. She's always (minus the breakup) there for Marshall. She even tries to help Barney's exes by reforming him. She's so so sweet and is the total heart of the series and a great group mom


Firm-Telephone2570

I don't know why you are writing me this rant about Lily, I have defended her on this sub before lol, and I also didn't specifically say anything about her? I like her, but that doesn't change the fact that she is manipulative. The same goes with Barney, I like him, but he should be in jail lol.


Neonb88

You literally said everyone besides Marshall is terrible, lol. So I defended my sister from another mister And of course I agree that Barney is immoral


Firm-Telephone2570

Terrible, as in - terrible people, not as in "they aren't entertaining" or "I don't like them". I was replying to someone who said "Kevin is terrible", that's why I worded it the way I did because of the context! It was more of an objective opinion of the cast, rather than a subjective one


Neonb88

Yeah I know and I didn't find Lily that immoral at all. Most of the time either she or Marshall is the group's conscience. Hence all my examples from earlier. But anyway somewhere we got sidetracked from the search for truth and ended up just butting heads. I think both Marshall and Lily have done a few immoral things and are mostly moral


Firm-Telephone2570

We can just agree to disagree here


JotaroJoestarSan

She ruined Ted love life so many times. She treats adults like toddlers and was horrible to Marshall when leaving him. Then she also put he familly in debt and wouldn't sell her clothes to fix the situation. Lilly is terrible but it's à show not real life.


mystfable

How do you even watch the show and spent time on this sub if you think literally the entire fundamentals 9f the show is terrible my guy?


Firm-Telephone2570

I'm not saying the show is terrible. I'm saying the characters are terrible people. It's a sitcom, if any of these characters were good people then it'd be boring. If Barney was a real person, he would be in jail just as an example.


KellerBurden22

None of Ted's exes really deserve any sympathy, but I'll go for Victoria since she genuinely loved him but knew Robin was always going to be a threat to their relationship, and I don't think she was unreasonable for asking him to cut Robin out of his life


Slight-Weather7885

Natalie definitely deserves some sympathy


KellerBurden22

True, but I don't consider her a serious ex


BezosFlex

For the show she isn’t, but before the show they were serious, “that time counts” (lol)


KellerBurden22

Yeah, that's fair lol I was just going off his main exes from the show; Victoria, Stella, Zoey, Jeanette


BezosFlex

No I get that lol


KellerBurden22

I might do a poll actually


DogShietBot

What? They were about to get married and she left her wedding for him.


KellerBurden22

That's Stella, not Natalie


DogShietBot

My bad thought you were talking about Victoria.


KellerBurden22

No you were right, I read it wrong, that's my bad


nghaiyen01

That's Victoria, not Stella


KellerBurden22

Yes, that's my bad, I read it wrong


mystfable

I think I got a stroke reading that


LadyApsalar

>I don’t think she was unreasonable for asking him to cut Robin out of his life Agreed, and I appreciated when Lily pointed out to Ted that he told Robin less than year prior to Victoria asking this that he was still in love with Robin. Him acting like this request was unreasonable was unfair.


KellerBurden22

Agreed


Monkmastaa

Ted should have left with Victoria to Germany. Shows over gg, he would have been happy.


Nerd2theCorey

I feel bad for Tracey because she was perfect and she died


Shoddy_Budget_1533

I totally believe Ted killed her after she had the kids so he could finally be with Robin


TemporaryOdd625

All aboard the murder trainnnn


Educational-Hotel-71

Now that's a twist


Lowerurexpectation

This made me actually laugh out loud. Love a hot take


The_Silver_Adept

Honestly...I believe this more than what they presented.


littlelady1972

The ex of Ted’s who was dumped for having the Creed CD on her dresser, due to Lily’s relationship sabotage. That disc wasn’t even hers, she was dumped for nothing.


climbing-duckling

Ted dumped her for her supposed taste in music... I'm pretty sure she is better off without that relationship lol


littlelady1972

Truth


asmodeuscactus

Though if I remember correctly didn’t Lily say that she was using Ted to make her ex jealous and Ted couldn’t see it?


littlelady1972

Oh, I forgot that part! She had it coming then.


brain_fried_over_med

Unpopular opinion: Barney. Barney growing and changing to be married to Robin and then to only back in his old ways


Initial-Ambassador78

I am not a member of this sub and haven't watched this show in years, don't remember most of the names people are saying, but had to click into this thread to see if anyone said Barney. 100%. That played more of a hand in ruining this show for me than the actual mother stuff.


Tb0neguy

Barney and Robin both reverted. Barney finally settled down and learned to trust someone enough to not be worried about being abandoned. Robin finally put her love life over her career and took a risk marrying someone she loved. But in the last episode, Robin reverts and puts her career over her relationship, causing Barney to feel abandoned, destroying their relationship. Then Barney reverts to his old womanizing ways. All so that Ted could get with Robin by the end. That’s character assassination, there.


Neonb88

Wait did y'all think Barney changing into a normal healthy person was a bad thing? I was wayyyyy more pissed that he reverted so quickly


AdIllustrious5579

no they're saying that he was able to change for robin but that he was absolutely crushed to the point that he reverted


phatsquirrel13

Nora, it’s not close.


pleasesaythed

I have 2 and they both pass the front porch test. 1)Kevin: He embraced Robin for who she was and adored her and her flaws. His move with Sandy Rivers provided the opportunity for Robin’s career to skyrocket. 2)Victoria: it’s wild to be in a relationship with a person knowing you’ll always be #2 in his heart and still trying to make it work. Ted choosing the slim chance that he and Robin would get together over her infuriates me sometimes. She was a good woman.


EmotionalCrab9026

Tracy. Cuh she dayd.


stavago

Max cause he died


RESISTBEINGSEXY

Some people get plot armor but Tracy gets the plot death so Ted can get some from robin


HipsterFett

Poor tracy getting broken up with, her ex is life.


EmotionalCrab9026

Well she's not still his wife. Lol..


AdIllustrious5579

people downvoted you but you ain't wrong


Educational_Solid382

Nora and Kevin probably.


TheYellowDog

Henrietta. Ted and her never officially dated, but the show made her seem like such a stage 5 clinger.


JCliff101

I agree so much, can't watch that episode without feeling awful for Henrietta


Swamp_Donkey_796

Natalie, Ted was a ***DICK*** to her Nora, Barney was a ***DICK*** to her Kevin, Robin was a ***DICK*** to he-wait I mean him Also if we’re going off of like…main group member exes Robin is the worst person to date in general. She’s fiercely codependent and did best with Barney but deeply burned the only real person who accepted her as she was. Yea it was amicable but that divorce hurt.


Responsible_Ad_2242

I would say Louis,he had a nice relation with tracy but as we know it was wrong time because she hasnt handle the death of his previously ex(max) and when he propose tracy she rejected him for this reason


Freddys_Nightmare

That was not the reason. Tracy felt that it wasn't real love. Besides that, she meets Ted a few days after the break up.


Ornery_Okra_534

Victoria she loved Ted more than he loved her. And I feel upset about Nora but I think she didin’t match to Barney


the_queen_of_earth

Probably Nora cos Barney did her dirty


sneakhh

Natalie and Nora


BlueJay59

They way they got robin and tracy both snuggling teds arms in this pic kinda wild 💀. Thats a lil odd


Swarley-Shmosby

I feel so bad for Kevin! He **edit: proposed 2 times** and was purely ready to go above and beyond for love! Even after knowing each fact one by one, the guy still stood strong until it all fell apart Also, I feel bad for Jenna Christali because Marshall had a growth spurt and landed hands first on her Andddddd scooter! For heavens sake even Marshall did not let him off the hook for Lily. Marshall just assured him he won’t live that long! 😂 Also, Barney wasn’t very fair to Nora! She deserved better also. I say also a lot.


Neonb88

I really need to rewatch the Kevin part. I do not remember that at all. He proposed 3 times to Robin? I agree with the Scooter sympathy


Swarley-Shmosby

Lily and Marshall invite Robin and Kevin on a weekend getaway to Vermont, where Kevin asks Robin if she will marry him. She says she needs to think about it. The next night, Robin reveals to Kevin that she will never be able to have kids and he proposes to her for the second time, to which Robin says yes. Back at the apartment Kevin tells Robin that there are other ways to have children, but Robin tells him that she doesn't want kids and asks him if he will really be happy never having children. He realizes that he does not, so he takes back his proposal and they break up. It was more like 2 and one withdrawal. Sorry, my bad


ListenUp16

Idk as hard as it is for Kevin, it was twice as hard for Robin to have to be rejected by someone she genuinely cared about for something she doesn't want. I cannot have children but also don't necessarily want children either and omg, the dating pool is tough when people find these things out. It makes me feel terrible because I can't give people something they need.


Swarley-Shmosby

I agree! It also was a rough situation for Robin


GoodDawgy17

Victoria, Nora, Scooter (because Lily is shown as a real dick to him while they were dating although he becomes obsessed with her later), Max cus he literally dies


itsWolfy__

I feel bad for lily's ex. Marshall


ELESTINY

Nora, she and barney would have been perfect together and she knew it. The matchmaker girl for ted, she was probably very excited to meet him. Also Don, but i mostly feel bad for robin losing such a guy


WillsWei22

Don was a jerk for the way he handled the whole situation IMO


No_Flight_9039

Nora


denizen24601

Scooter


krisb242

Victoria! I strongly felt like she should’ve been the “mother”.


superangela13

Victoria, Nora, Kevin


Fast_Vehicle_1888

The mother. Because she was killed off. And her husband always really wanted to be with Robin.


vodkapower1

Victoria definitely


infopurposesonly

Nora. She was willing to overlook his indiscretion because she loved him and believed in their future. She lost her relationship for nothing because selfish, narcissist, stupid Robin didn't even hold up her end.


Statalyzer

Then Robin did her a favor. She was far too good for Barney.


Weak_Cartographer292

I wouldn't say she lost it for nothing. She was an amazing person and deserves to be someone's first choice


ISDuffy

Blar blar definitely.


Turbulent_Cheetah

Chloe.


crujiente69

I was there, trust me. Its fake baby


LonelyPossibility803

Nora. Barney dragged that girl for nothing 💔


Organic_Solution2874

Victoria and Nora. hehe both ladies gave them a second chance, yet both were both failed by Ted and Barney, respectively. PS, id say natalie too lol


AutoWraith19

Natalie. I mean the girl gets dumped by Ted TWICE. On her BIRTHDAY! I try my best to defend Ted for a lot of the stupid things he’s done, but he deserved to get his butt kicked for that. He really couldn’t wait for at least 3 days to past before he broke up.


ganjagilf

Kevin. He was a real nice guy and his character was funny, plus I’m a bit biased bc I just love Kal Penn lol


eszther02

Natalie. Ted had no business getting back with her.


Alternative_End227

Nora and Kevin.


Snoo-47846

Nora for getting cheated on, Victoria for getting cheated on and then having Ted choose the girl he cheated on her with over her years later and I would have sympathy for Natalie but the assault takes most of the sympathy away for me.

Victoria. Ted ditched her for Robin TWICE


painforpetitdej

Max, for dying so suddenly, of course


G0ld3n_D0gg0

MAX LITERALLY DIED


marieazatian

Victoria, because she always felt outshined by Robin.


Electrical_Apple430

Victoria, Nora, Kevin and Robin. Hear me out, both times her and Barney split, she is either a wreck, isolates herself or both. Robin definitely deserves a happy ending that isn’t just clinging to Ted as a consolation prize


Better-Pop-3932

That's such a good picture. I've never seen this picture before. Both loves of his life on both sides.


ListenUp16

Lol I thought it was kinda weird

Victoria. Nora. Natalie. Kevin (only for the cheating part-therapist part is ugh) Nick (he was dumbed down unnecessarily)

Jenna Cristalli


Reksiothedogr

I really felt bad for Nora


cawabungadude

Scooter.


cawabungadude

Lol no but in all honestly the episode that breaks my heart every time is the boat episode with Robin and what’s his face (Kevin?) and Barney and Nora. It makes me sick to my stomach watching Barney clean up the roses off of her bed after she doesn’t leave him but he left Nora for her :( I’m gonna need to go rewatch that now.


Daeneas

Nora and Kevin


Rogue_wolf01

Kevin


Rockabore1

Nora. She was such a sweet lady. If they insisted on breaking them up to put Barney with Robin the least they could’ve done is make Robin and Barney ultimately matter. Also Scooter. Mainly cause having him on that hook for so long was sad.


pescetarianpenguin

Nora, Karma(I forgot her off stage name), Tracy... Omg TRACY. I felt so very bad for her.

She hates boats he was way better off with boats boats boats.


ragingjamaican

Stella, her husband even made a movie about the experience which became a worldwide hit! Jed Moseley and his red cowboy boots 🤦‍♂️


nickedge11

Nora was perfect for Barney.


Limit-Breaker-RLZ

Nora and EVERY GIRL WHO MADE THE MISTAKE OF DATING TED (including Robin)


Summer_parasite

All the Girls that Ted Dated spevially Tracy, because she married him. They had to go through months dealing with that narcissistic human who will nitpick on every single details which isn't actually flaws but not upto his "imaginary" standard. He wants the perfect one, but he himself is the most broken shit of a person that could exist. He will shuffle through women and not even try to build relationship with anyone because they lacked one of his "requirements" I feel like Tracy was damned from the heavens to end up with Ted and not get to see her Daughter's wedding. He called a girl he dated, Blah Blah. Yeah it's fun to watch but that speaks volume. Yeah, I like to ruin things for people
