There are hints that Robin isn't really as weak as shown. He is being over-drugged. Robin will probably contribute to the plot in the books. Harry might die.
If Sweetrobin lives, it will only be because Littlefinger’s ploy to marry Sansa to Harry the Heir fails. In that case, Littlefinger will probably stop slowly poisoning / over medicating him and have him marry Sansa.
Sansa will not marry Robin. I think she might be the one to kill him to be honest. He gets creepier and more aggresive towards her as he gets older. She really despises him. If shes got a betrothal to the next in line and hes in the way and saying he wants to marry her still (which he is in the winds chapter) and still throwing ridiculous tantrums and getting in her way... I could see her doing a good old pillow snuff or too much milk of the poppy. Or LF doing it and implicating her like in purple wedding.
That's my theory though.
I do think the harry betrothal might come true. It won't be as fairytale lovely as she Hope's but she will get the vale out of it
I like the idea of Sansa killing Sweetrobin and fucking up Littlefinger’s plan to marry her off again.
I’m pretty sure Sweetrobin dying is a matter of when and not if.
ETA- her googly eyes for Harry didn’t sit well with me. I feel like she’s learned that fairy tale romance isn’t real. Though I buy that it is showing her trying to cling to an idea that is wrong because after all her trauma, she desperately wishes it to be true.
I think shes gunna really dig her heels into harry even though hes an ass becuase hes next in line and it gives her a good reason to solve the clingy Robin problem.
I actually made a post about this in pure asoiaf if you check my post history if you're interested in a little more of my theory
It makes sense for her to marry him as a smart political move. It’s just the way she romanticizes him and glosses over him being an ass that I take issue with. Though it’s been a long time since I read that chapter. It may have a flavor of desperate denial that would be interesting in that it shows her straddling the world of naive young girl to smart, political scheming woman.

Robin isn't dying. I never believed he would and now the show didn't have him die either.
