You miss my point entirely. The show isn't awful. It's actually a very good one. The issue is with characterization at times.
All characters start with a background and from there one expects gradual change or growth in them.
If you pay attention Dev was not initially a doormat. He was opinionated, a little arrogant and rude. But still had great qualities that gave him a good starting point. Similarly Ishwari and Neha also had/have their issues.
We are seeing gradual char growth in Neha from her "the world has done me injustice and I won't have kids or live in a hut" to the current state of adjusting to living with in-laws in a small house. Gradually she might even consider having kids.
How would you feel if she stayed the same old Neha for the entire show??
Similarly Ishwari's issues are about loosing goddess status in her son's opinion. That didn't create a problem till Devakshi happened. Now we expect to see growth in her as she gradually understands Sonas importance in Devs life while getting the assurance from Devakshi that she won't be relegated to a corner in the kitchen.
How would you feel if she stayed an insecure mother for the entire show??
Consider Dev now. At work he was a successful businessman and at home he he was a good son and had his sisters respect. When he realized that he was in love but was about to be engaged, he thought through the issue, weighed all factors and dealt with them confidently. Explained it to Natasha, "INFORMED" not request, nor hesitate but confidently INFORMED his family about his decision. No need to get into the awesome proposal.😃😃
Since then his char has nosedived. He is having a conversation with Sona and Nikki barges in drags her away citing "movie on TV". Could you imagine this happening in the earlier episodes??
During the marriage just about everyone ignores his plight when Sona is locked in the room. His friend, Mamaji and even Nikki .. None of them do what he asks of them. I can list more but that should do.
Now consider the suicide track which is a major roadblock for his . He thinks she tried to commit suicide and overhears her concerned about being a bad mother. The Dev from engagement episode would have sat with her and discussed what her concerns were and why would she feel that she is a bad mother.
He doesnt ask her or talk to her. He also doesnt explain things to Sona. Just tells her. He doesn't sit and think through the current problem like he did earlier. He is now a bully at work and a billi at home.
He cannot even contemplate having a conversation with Ishwari. Sona won't talk to him. So how does he expect to solve this problem?? Divine intervention??
All he does is cry and throw things all around him. Where is the decisiveness?? Unless he makes up his mind forget Ishwari, he can't even approach Sona to apologise and makeup.
As it appears now can you imagine him fighting for his love. More likely Ishwari will realise and pity him and allow him to go get Sona. Till then he is going to put his head in Ishwari's lap and bemoan his predicament, while assuring her that he is perfectly fine.
