Is it just me? I'm not a masochist but seriously I feel that you can feel the love for the other person very differently when you are away from them. Not that distance makes it any more fonder. If you hate them for certain things, that doesnt go away but the ones you do like gets highlighted.
Do your needs change over that time period to be satisfied by what is being offered to you by the other person or do still get stuck on what you want?
How does that work? Thoughts anyone.
The human phyche ofcourse differs from person to person and there are just too many variables to be considered, but keeping that on the side, lets see if we can talk about it without getting too technical.
Comments/thoughts?
First of all, I feel that for one to completely realize their feelings is to just think about it. You just have to be in a state, which Geet is in right now, to understand love for someone is the thought of not being able to live without them. But I do not think that separation is the only way to your love. Patience is something that is needed in this state. If one is able to see both sides of the situation then it is not difficult to make the right choice. I really think that Geet overreacted to this Media situation but I do not blame her for it. The circumstances led her to this rash way of reacting and blaming Maan.
One needs to completely sit down, think through the cause and consequences. Now, that does take time but if you are patient, have the strength, and desire to have someone or something in your life, it is not hard. Separation, I believe is just another way that you try to get rid of a problem, it does not solve it. Of course, later on however, it is resolved. But what is the chance of that relationship to be the same as before. Both Maan and Geet have faced many different problems in their lives, and they both dealt with it by isolating everyone around them. Maan, I think isolated himself from his Dadimaa because he did not have the strength to deal with his love's death. Geet isolated herself by living in New York after her divorce because she did not feel like dealing with her family. Separation can cause a chain of events to occurs that could have been prevented early on. Darji's illness could have been prevented, Maan could have been an outgoing person who shared everything with his Dadimaa. But they both separated from their problem and that is not the way to deal with. If Maan and Geet do not resolve this situation now, a chain of problems face them. The trust they shared had been broken once and when everything clears up again, you will still have doubts even if you say that you don't. I just feel that separation does not bring people together more. It is true love, trust, and most of all patience with the ability to handle unexpected problems.
Now coming to your back to your question. I think that needs are actually wants. People try to expect so much out of life that what it seems like a want turns into a need which is the only way that they will be able to live with someone. When someone gets married, they do not expect anything from their partner but wish it, want it. But as time goes, they change, their wants turns into needs which can eventually lead to a problem.
In this case, Geet did not expect anything from Maan but as time went on, she became more comfortable with him, Part 46, so she starts turning her wants into needs. I know that she might wish that Maan does this or that for her but that is actually a want. A wish is a want. As she became comfortable with him, she expected so much from him that her wants turned into her need for him to understand her. Maan is also the same case. Before he told her that he does not expect anything out of her but Part 46 turned his wants into needs. He also needs Geet to understand him. Now, I am not saying that one is right and the other is wrong. What is wrong is the circumstance of the situation. If you love someone very dearly that you would die for them, then you can also listen to them, a separation does not need to take place. Maan and Geet both love each other very dearly. If Maan hadn't loved Geet, he would not have rescued her on New Years. If Geet had not loved Maan, she would not have came back to help him get better. Right now, these two just don't want to deal with the problem, they want to get away from him right this second because they are tired of it. So much has taken place in their lives that they cannot live happily thus resulting in their conclusion that separation is the only way they will be able to live. However, I think that separation does not help in a relationship. You should always have the guts, desire to put the truth out into the open. Backing away from it for even a day, does not help anyone. Now, I bet that you are tired of reading my POV so I will stop right here. I hope that I have not offended anyone.
