I mean you put the retarded shit aside for a sec (ie: everything Rogue does) and it makes sense on paper. They're both people with a regrettable past with issues connecting with people. Gambit with his self loathing, Rogue in a literal physical sense. Gambit actually being as loyal and faithful as a sunrise and Rogue seeing it as almost impossibly too good to be true is a nice subversion on the mysterious thief troupe.
That's all on paper. The problems come up when Rogue has over 20 years of shit testing Remy and him putting up with it and writers always making him out to be the one in the wrong. Maybe not in a meta standpoint per se, but people will for sure bring up Gambit being involved in the mutant massacre or his numerous failings in keeping people he cared about safe way more often than Rogue being a literal villain in her early years, her literally leaving Gambit to die in the artic (something so vile they had to retcon it to where she was mentally being messed with, which is the same equivalent of "Sorry babe, I was drunk, I didn't mean to hit you" to me) fucking over his chances to be an Avenger by lying about him not being trustworthy even though he's arguably one of the only X-Men aside from like fucking Nightcrawler that actually has been really consistent about Xavier's original dreams of integration, and all her emotional manipulation she's done to him over the years, and the "on paper" reasoning why they work well together gets null and void.
Oh, and this one is a kind of small gripe but Gambit has consistently said he's wanted to settle down and have kids throughout his entire history as a character and Rogue did too, until after they got married and she changed her mind. He should have really gotten upset at that. Maybe not angry, exactly, but it's kind of disappointing that she once again took from Gambit without giving anything back.
