在经过七季的各种纠结，Barney和Robin终于将可能在第八季众望所归地修成正果，在这一季的第六集，Barney为了Robin的幸福希望她和Nick分手，并在这个时候借着玩笑的口吻，戏假情真，对Robin说出了真爱告白。
Because Robin and I are in love. I love her, Nick. I love everything about her. And I'm not a guy who says that lightly. I'm a guy who has faked love his entire life. I thought love was just something idiots thought they felt, but this woman has a hold on my heart that I could not break if I wanted to, and there have been times that I wanted to. It has been overwhelming and humbling and even painful at times. But I could not stop loving her any more than I could stop breathing. I am hopelessly, irretrievably in love with her. More than she knows.
因为Robin和我彼此相爱。我爱她。我爱她的一切。你要知道我并不是一个能随意说出这种话来的人。我是那种不相信什么“真爱”的人。我曾经以为真爱只不过是一种SB们觉得他们能感受到的一种东西，但是这个女人抓住了我的心，我想走都走不了。曾经有那么几次我想过要走，但我根本无法控制自己，在这种强大的力量面前感到自己无比卑微，有时甚至非常心痛。但是我无法不爱她，就像我无法不呼吸一样。我是如此不可救药而又无法挽回地爱着她。而她可能对此一无所知。
