Why?! - An outlet for my (our) frustrations

I don't understand Gauri's motivations here. When she knows just how much Omkara hates lies, lying and liars (no matter what sort of a hypocritical idiot he is), why the heck is she burying herself deeper in this pile of lies? There are so many ways she could've tackled the Bua Maa problem... lying about being pregnant due to a drug related loss of control on her husband's part is hardly the best way to go about it.

And now that Omkara has started to get emotionally involved with the child, things are bound for hell in a handbasket for sure. I honestly don't see the advantage of choosing to be mahaan and sacrifice one's chances at happiness for the sake of saving one's husband, when so many other options are open. Literally anything else would've worked better... even confronting Bua Maa about it in front of the entire family couldn't have created this much of a flaming trashfire as the current situation.

I have a feeling this is supposed to make me #TeamOmkara once more, considering the fact that for a while, due to his dickishness, we were all hating on him... Is this stupidity supposed to make me like Omkara better in comparison to Gauri who's being a selfish idiot now? Why does it always have to be choosing between the devil and the deep blue sea? Is it so impossible in the vishwas universe that people could be sensible, weigh their options and go for the most effective but least destructive one? Not even once for God's sake?

Over on IB, Ranveer made the unbelievably stupid, born-without-a-brain Prinku believe that she was pregnant with his child to make sure their wedding happened. And here's our Gauri Kumari Sharma making her husband believe that she is pregnant with his child... in an effort which is somehow designed to save him from Bua Maa's evil intentions. How are the two situations so very different?

Ranveer deservedly got so much bashing about his actions... and Gauri is going to face what? The disappointment of the entire family that she's managed to endear herself to? Break the trust of not just Omkara, but also his entire family? What Gauri is gonna end up doing is way more destructive than the crazy shit Anika pulled on Shivaay a couple of weeks back. Anika broke Shivaay down to a nihilistic, self-destructive robot who still hurts from that incident... for what? Nothing has changed because of what she did... she hasn't achieved anything by turning him against her other than hurt him and herself irreparably in the process. But at least she broke only Shivaay... the rest of the family knows the truth behind her actions.

And Gauri is on that same path. This has the potential to break Omkara beyond belief... is her motivation for this entire drama worth any of the fallout? If you're gonna try to make her case by telling me that her intentions are good... no matter the way she is going about it, well let me tell you something... The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.

I find I can no longer take any more crap from Gauri's incredibly flawed plan to save her husband physically while destroying him emotionally. What's the point of keeping someone alive when you're killing them on the inside in the process?
