We all anandi fans have long wanted anandi to move on and it seems th fulfilment of desire is imminent!
Had always wished anandi severes all kinds of ties with that slimy ,filthy,stinky,animal in th guise of human..and this soon may happen.
But one thing comes to my mind.jagat(hate naming him even) spate out th venom instigated by his MIL,against anandi...this pacified gauri,brought solace to her heart and more importantly proved a final blow to JA's relationship which had expired long back!
Now as anandi(only if she does) decides to move on,stop calling thm or complies to gauri's DOs n Donts,wont it convey a msg that anandi had been in need of this dose by J...that she was expectant of his return and has now stopped expecting it after he himself asked her to stay away frm their lives,ths openly!
Anandi herself has put her self respect under question!

Yes, it would have been nice if she had disengaged herself a lot earlier and just maintained a clinical relationship with him, if at all she had to have one.

Anandi has done nothing to compromise her self-respect.

Is she divorced ? Has she mibehaved and the family want her out of the house ? Has the court asked her to be removed from there ? NO

And that's coz she has a legal right to stay there - not counting the fact that - this fmaily today can rely on her and loves her more than they they do Jagya today. Anandi has earned her right to be a full-fledged member of this house on her own merit. She has built ties with each and every member based on love, affection, umpteen sacrifices (including attempt on life) and smiles and hard work. Anandi shud not leave.

Yes - Anandi took him literally. She accepted that since meeting Gauri- J wanted to stay - JUST FRIENDS. Anandi stayed freinds and helped etc as a friend no matter how much it was cutting her deep inside.

Yesterday - Jagya told her she was not even a friend, so today, she threw out all the things she had treasured as mementos of a long and deep friendship.

She has not lost any self respect IMO

self respect -- I believe that is when we stand for our own values and principles -- that is when we earn our own respect and that is what is called self respect.
From that perspective, no she has not lost self respect. She has a set of values -- to be helpful to everyone including Jagya, and her call and other things were in full alignment with her values.
On the other hand, there has to be something there that will eat away at her personality -- the thought "How did I let Jagya do that to me YET AGAIN".
I personally forgave someone, who did the same thing to me a second time.
More than the actual incident, I really lost respect in my own eyes because I didnt see it coming a second time. It's like the person got the best of me a second time. That part used to eat away at my soul for a really long time. I think I would give it the term 'lack of self respect'... but maybe that is not the correct term.
I think when you get suckered a second time it does lead to a certain falling in your own eyes.

I bet that would hurt. But it wud just need to readjust our acceptance levels of faith on people who've proven not true in the past.

But to build an ivory tower around oneself and let no person touch your heart ever again - wud mean to forever punish yourself with solitary confinement.

Life means to love and live and hope and be happy.

The person who gets duped may be sorry for sometime, but he will smile again. But the person who dupes will forever live with a heavy conscience and this weight never gets lighter. Eventually their smiles too will start feeling stretched and they will lose the ability to laugh freely and sleep soundly.

Given the two options - which wud u rather be ?
I'd rather love and live and try my luck and hope again.

I believe people in love tend to keep certain things aside to a certain extent till the moment of 'enough is enough' arrives(this doesn't mean she wants him back). When they reach their tipping point then only do they get back to their senses. Anandi has finally reached her tipping point! She never cried her heart out when J left her..or even when G conceived. She was found dumb struck in those situations not knowing what to do...She passed through different stages feeling sad for her plight, then she was shown boosting herself...then she was shown sitting alone and crying in loneliness wondering why J left her?
Of all these J continued talking to her as a childhood friend and she reciprocated his friendship. Hence i don't find it as a question of Self-respect when it comes to her behavior with J.
But i do doubt her quotient of self-respect when she stays silent listening to G's horrendous screams. Again that could be b'coz Anandi is too matured and knows that there wouldn't be any point trying to explain things to a mental zombie!

If you ask a crow to shut up - will it stop crowing ?

All that will happen is you'd lose your own voice from yelling in the process.

Every time G screams and gets tired and cries croc tears and gets patted by J and spoilt silly by her mom. What wud Anandi achieve by getting into a slanging match with her ? G wud just scream louder.

In hindi there's a lovely saying - keechad me patthar maroge to chheentey khud par hi aayenge. (If u throw stones in sewage - the splashes will fall on you).

Anandi knows and understands this and hence does not get down to Gauri's level. There r quite a lot of times when A has had enough and has soundly told her off. But G has selective amnesia and a very loud repetitive whine. I know I would bang the phone down on Gauri in these moods as that wud really really piss her off.

I still think it is nice if we read our surroundings and opt out of a situation ourselves before we are thrown out of the situation by another individual. It just leaves us with a feeling of dignity.

Fervour's post is not about the A-G equation, but the Jagya and anandi equation.
if she had kept her distance then she would not have had to face humiliation.
While it is true that nobody can devalue you by abusing you it is equally true that the unpleasantness of having to listen to abuse does leave an impact.
