(I can't seem to find a clip in English, but you get it.)
Ted: Robin and I had a moment at the gym today.
[earlier at the gym, Ted walks in on Robin grunting loudly as she bench presses]
Ted: You know how some exes can't be friends because of all that lingering sexual tension?
Robin: Yeah?
Ted: Gone. Thank you.
Remember that How I Met Your Mother episode (The Yips) when Ted and Robin still had that sexual tension between them right after their break up? Then they finally had that "moment" at the gym when they finally became turned off from each other?
I think I just had that moment.
It wasn't so much what I saw physically that turned me off. It's more of what I saw that said something about his character when we hung out today.
I held the illusion of the him I knew up on a pedestal. The him I gave everything to. Unfortunately, that person I knew is gone. Instead he's replaced by this guy-- who is still nice to me and cares about me-- but who can be quite the insensitive ass sometime. This time I wasn't surprised nor affected at all. It's not that I'm used to being disappointed by him. Rather it's me-- finally doing me and not being phased about what some man boy is doing behind my back.
Real talk: grown men don't pull shit like that. So I'm gonna go find me a man now. No more of this little boy bullshit. Thanks to what I saw, now I can finally say, "Gone."
Thank you.
