That's the reason why the Friends finale works: At no point did Ross & Rachel EVER say they wouldn't end up together, nor did the writers ever emphasize that point.

It was a bad ending because they spent the last 2+ seasons getting viewers invested in the whole Barney/Robin thing and the last season getting them to really like the mother. They did a lot to show why Ted/Robin
weren't a good fit for each other and frankly I'm convinced they aren't.
Then they !@#$ing killed the mother and divorced Barney/Robin in 10 minutes to absolutely shove that stupid damn Ted/Robin thing down our throats.
There were a lot of reasons why that ending didn't work and because of that, just friggen scrap it. It was a fine concept but over the 7 seasons that followed, you have to be willing to be open to the fact that your original ending just isn't going to work now.
