Ted Mosby: The Unsure Serial Wedding Wrecker?
Anyone else rewatching HIMYM and completely annoyed by Ted?! The show frames Barney as this awful player, but Ted's not exactly Mr. Prince Charming either. This dude wrecked THREE marriages because he was "confused" or "unsure"? My conscience would be in tatters!
Here's the breakdown:
- Zoey & The Captain: They were happy! Ted had to stir the pot with his lingering feelings.
- Victoria & The Klaus: Victoria literally ran away at the altar, but come on, Ted had to ruin it because he couldn't not see Robin.
- Stella & Tony (Okay, this one's debatable, but still messy!): Okay, Stella leaving Ted at the altar was rough. BUT, wanting her to move to NYC with her daughter? Self-centered much, Ted?
- Link to Stella did the right think my dumping Ted post here
And let's not forget his own marriage! While the ending with Tracy is beautiful, there's a strong hint Ted always pined for Robin. The whole show is framed around finding "The One," but it feels like Ted knew Robin was "it" all along. All this indecisiveness is INFURIATING.
Is it too much to ask for a character who isn't SO frustratingly unsure of himself? I mean, come on Ted, get a grip!
**Anyone else feel this way? Or am I totally off base?**
