Pining is only looked down on in this thread when criticizing a character you don't like.

When Frisco came back pining for Felicia there wasn't a single post accusing him of being weak or pathetic. Not one.

When Luke woke Laura up in 2006 and said part of him had been waiting for her and later said he couldn't live with out her, none of their fans thought that was weak.

If Robert was brought back and rewritten to have been pining for Holly since her "death" not one of their fans would be calling Robert weak.
LOL Because the topic was Anna it's a big no - no We can't call out her character flaw

Bobbie and Jake
Lucy and Scotty
Heather and Scotty
Tiff and Sean-do they count lol.
Tracy and ashton-much better than her and luke lol.was rooting for them to get back together in 1990?
I thought Tracy was so hot with Scott Baldwin. So mad they didn't go there with them again.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep I think
How did he make her stronger?
I feel like Robert calls her on her shit. Whether they're together, or not, it doesn't even matter. He spent more time building her up than tearing her down, and expects her to live up to standards even when she falls. I think they're good for each other in that way.

But again, this isn't about ships for me. I think Jax is way better for Brenda than Sonny, but they bore me and I'd much rather watch the dysfunctional S&B merrygoround.
And she did the same for him. She called him out on his stubbornness, his unforgiving nature and his constant (and at times annoying) one track mind when it came to right and wrong. Their constant battles on that front were very often very dramatic scenes. I agree, if the match ups can continually sustain that push and pull that i am all in. Like with S&B, they were dysfunctional but had that spark that kept them interesting. Thats how I feel about L&L and R&A as well. I never found R&H boring, I don't know why that is (they were the exception for happily married couples IMO), but D&A, IMO didn't have that and definitely don't now.
You probably didn't find R&H boring because they were always in the middle of something. It kind of hard to get boring when you're constantly in the thick of the action and that's Robert to a T and whoever he's romantically with.

I mentioned here or somewhere of having bought Robert's edits and he was used everywhere and so was his love interest. Holly/Robert was part of everything. Robert was a true leading man and you could tell from watching the old shows. I think that's the different with Duke/Anna, Duke was only used in his own life and that could be like you're in a boring bubble. however, Anna was used widely like Robert and they usually always ended up together.

Pining, IMO, is not the fault of the character that is the object of the pining. But on that note:

Luke pining for Laura waiting for her to wake up, I wouldn't consider weak
Robert was pining for Holly in 86 because she died, but I wouldn't consider him weak
Anna pining for Robert because she totally trashed the relationship while having his child, I wouldn't consider weak
Duke pining for Anna for 23 years while in a Turkish prison, I would also not consider weak

On the other hand, Holly pining for Luke supposedly all these years and getting pregnant intentionally to try and keep him while pretending to be dead and still married to another man, is the definition of weak. I hated this with the white-hot intensity of a thousand suns

yeah I liked the whole Dominquie dies of cancer story it was something differnt for scotty lol.I think characters need differnt stories every once in awhile the reason I feel like sonny,Liz ect are so redundant they've had the same stories it feels like forever.

it is weak and i can admit that as a Holly fan, but i think Anna and tracy are weak and blind when it comes to men too

PS. I don't have Anna only edits but having Robert's edits give me lots of Anna because they were always together., there's very few Anna scenes left for me to buy. Early D/A and the Laurelton story is all I need to have to have all Anna stuff from the 80s buying Robert's gave me lots of AD.. lol
