Everything is rushed and everything is told and not shown. This relationship doesn't seem real because Robin Hood is the most underdeveloped character out of all the main cast while Regina is probably the most developed character of all, thus making their realtionship seem fake because we don't know anything about him.

In addition, Regina did a lot of horrible thing in her past, including killing his wife, and the writers just try not to go there because it would seem so problematic that Robin would stay with her if he knew what she did.

I can't recall any meaningfull conversation between the two.

The only reason I see for this relationship is to avoid SQ, and while I disagree with SQ. The writers tell us that Robin and Regina love eachother, they tell us that Hook and Emma have this "epic" love story, yet they show us that Emma and Regina has each other's back and they show us Emma sacrificing herself for Regina. So I really don't get what they are trying to achive.
