How I Met Your Mother: Ted's Relationships Ranked
3. Victoria
Technically, Ted's relationship with Victoria can count as two different relationships. The pair dated twice, once in Season 1 and once in Season 8. Though they proved to be a great couple, two break ups probably isn't a great sign for any fan who really wanted Victoria to be the mother.
The pair first meet at Ted's friends' Stuart and Claudia's wedding, for which Victoria baked the cake. The two date for a time, despite the fact that Ted does not tell her about his recent crush on Robin. Although their relationship went well, they transitioned to long distance after Victoria moved to Germany for a baking fellowship. This did not last long, as while they were struggling as a couple with Victoria away, Ted predicted they would break up, and jumped the gun, cheating on her with Robin.
The pair get together once more after Victoria pulls a Stella and leaves her fiance at the altar for Ted. She expects Ted to propose to her shortly after, and although he takes his time, he eventually asks her to marry him. She says yes, on one condition: He has to cut out Robin. This is too much for Ted, and he breaks up with Victoria for good.
Ted did not deserve for Victoria to give him another chance. Cheating on her is unforgivable. However, Ted ultimately made the right decision, choosing to remain friends with Robin, given how important she is to him and given that he would eventually meet an even better match than Victoria.
