When you're married there are difficult decisions to make at any turn. Sometimes those difficult decisions are the ones we hate mate but know it's the right thing to do. When things became hard for Barney and Robin they decided the best thing to do was separate. While they do love each other, both needed some time and space apart to figure things out. The last three years has been great, marriage had never been something they wanted to do but when they realized they still loves each other and wanted to be together they decided to make the biggest most toughest decision they ever made...

Commitment. The first year of marriage was blissful, they were newlyweds trying to make a new life together while still being madly in love. The second years, well things started to become too much too soon. Even without kids or anything holding them back from staying in New York, there was still Robin's job which is something they hadn't discussed before they got married because both knew it wouldn't be a big issue for them. Robin didn't want to leave New York, her home to travel but when her boss asked her to do a story in Spain things started to get more frustrating and difficult for the marriage.

"I know we said I'll be back home in a week but they asked me to cover another story. I'm so sorry Barney, I will let you know when I'll be coming home." While Barney's in New York working with the FBI after he finally got his revenge on the man who stole his girlfriend Shannon from him. The FBI asked him to be a Private Detective for them. Being a smart and known liar he thought putting this lying to a profession so he quit GNB and the corporate world for doing something he was actually really good at. Putting his skills as a liar to a job that he really enjoyed doing.

With both Barney and Robin working full time they had little time for each other and for their marriage. They started to fight a lot during this second year of marriage. And, then once Barney became available for a weekend he went to visit Robin this time in Argentina.

"Okay, since I have a weekend off I will go visit you." This shouldn't have happened but it did and so Barney went to visit his wife but things didn't go lovingly for them.

"This has become a nightmare Robin. You are always working, can't you at least get sometime off to see your husband who flew for hours to get here to see his wife?" They spent an hour together when Barney first came to meet Robin at the airport before she got a call for an incoming story that she had to take leaving Barney alone in her hotel room.

"No, Barney I can't. This is my job, I'm always on call for a pending story so yes I have to work." Robin says sighing, rolling her eyes and pushing her hair back from her face.

"Ugh, I came all this way to spend sometime with you I didn't come to hangout by myself in this hotel room all night." This was the umpteenth time this has happened in the last five months.

"I know you did, look I have time tomorrow to spend all day with you. We can go see the sights of the city, go to the beach, there's a nice romantic spot not too far from here where you can take a carriage ride, or we can do whatever you like. I have nothing to do tomorrow and I told Mr. Stan that you're here and I want to spend time with you. He gave me the day off." Robin came over to where Barney was sitting on the bed sulking while playing with his phone.

"Hey, I'm sorry I had to work tonight but tomorrow I'm all yours." Robin tried to sooth a still sulking mad Barney by kissing his neck trying to get him to forgive her.

"Ugh, what is with those lips of your I can never get enough." Barney turns to Robin smiling as she kisses his neck. "Okay, but until whatever we do tomorrow I can't wait any longer." Barney says kissing Robin passionately and pulling her down onto the bed with him causing her to giggle as he kissed her neck this time.

Everything went well the next day until her boss called her to the Argentine World Wide News Offices to give a follow up on the story she did the day before. That's when Barney had it with Robin putting her career before him.
