Suman has her share of behavioral problems. Her self-respect now, and her image consciousness in the past were her defense mechanisms just like Shravan's hurting in silence without revealing his true feelings or opinion until things reach a bursting point or escapism are his defense mechanism.
I definitely sympathize and connect more with Shravan as a character, but at the same time I am willing to cut Sumo's character more slack than you. ASR was definitely rude. Sumo though flawed does not act as despicably as he acted at times. Her rejection of Shravan when he came to her in their school days was a knee-jerk reaction to the comments of her good for nothing bully-gang.
Provided both Shravan and Suman can work out something by communicating properly where she does not touch his raw nerves or places where he gets hurt and he does not enter into those zones she terms as her self-respect, they could have a very good relationship.
A relationship at the end of the day is not a balance sheet or a profit and loss statement but something you'd like to be in despite the respective failings of both the individual partners than be without. Shravan was never able to move on or lead a happy and fulfilled life putting his past with Suman behind him. Even after ten long years, he finds himself stuck in the same rut.
Suman still acts immaturely when it comes to Shravan. But all the same we cannot say that she is completely undeserving or unlikable as a person. If at the end of the day, both Shravan and Suman think that they are really Ek Duje ke Vasthe despite everything, I don't see why any of us should have a problem. Two perfect people might not make a good relationship while two imperfect people(one who is more perfect and another who is more imperfect) could make a great relationship by complementing each other.
