We still know little of Robin's past with Marian so I can't say why Tink would say that. But I know one thing.

Marian died because Robin made a mistake. ''After our boy was born I inadvertently put her in harm’s way during the job. It’s my fault. (Witch Hunt)''

This might be enough to ruin a life being responsible for the fact that Roland has to grow up without a mother. At least Robin blames himself for it.
