I cannot agree with you .
Sometimes love is just not enough. Love, Trust and Respect are three components of any successful relationship. Dev loves Sonakshi but does he respect her or trust her? If he trusts her, he would have shared the pregnancy test reports to her, if he has trust in her, at least after marriage, he would have shared the truth of her health condition, and he would definitely discuss with her before giving money to Saurabh.
More than anyone else he knows that Sonakshi was not aware of all this and it was his decision to hide this from his family ,but he decided to be passive when his maa , sister and mami continuously taunted her, directly and indirectly accusing her for manipulating Dev.
And regarding the money matter , even though it was given to Saurabh, the minute his maa and others blamed Sonakshi for this deed , it has become the matter of her self-respect. And if you ask what is more important a shelter or self-respect , I would choose the latter. What will we do if a third person after giving us money questions our dignity , we will return the money by sacrificing every materialistic comforts right ?That is exactly what sonakshi did , Dev's family insulted her father badly like a third person and as a daughter, it was her responsibility to prove that money and other comforts are nothing in front of Self respect.
With regard to Slap matter, you really think an apology is enough? Even though, as Dev says it was unintentional, but the truth is he slapped a person who in relationship is equal to his father.You think it is easy to mend the relationship with an apology? Would Dev forgive Sonakshi if she was in his place?
For me Shaadi has been the union of two families not just two people, I can't agree with the matter that Sonakshi's parents were wrong in visiting the Dev's house without invitation. They didn't came there to stay for a long time right ? It is the place where their daughter is staying , it really sounds odd to hear that they need invitation to visit the place.
You have mentioned that abuse was not involved in Dev- Sonakshi relationship, really ? There was no physical abuse so far, but mental torture is more vicious than physical torture. From the day 1 , his maa, sister and mami were insulting Sonakshi and there were only a few instances in which Dev supported her .The way Ishwari and Dev handled pregnancy, infertility plot was depressing and intimidating for any women. I agree Dev was generous in saying sweet words to Sonakshi over the phone but he was like maa's puppet when it comes to the actual matter.
Did their relationship ever had the privacy which every marital relationship should have ?Even the private matters like when should they have treatment , when should they try for a kid , and what should they eat during their honeymoon was decided by his maa.
You are right, we should not walk out of a relationship, but should we stay with a person who is not ready to see the fact, should we with a man who is not willing to support us , should we stay with a person who is not ready to respect our parents ,Should we stay with a man who disregards our individuality as per his convenience ?
Dev know that his maa prepared a prenup , isn't that enough for him to understand that Ishwari has a low opinion on Sonakshi and because of her prejudice attitude she always find fault in sonakshi. A normal husband would not insult his mother nor will he consider his wife as above his mother or vice versa , but he would at least try to make his mother understand that the accusation against his wife is wrong and he would definitely demand his relatives be it mami or his own sister to not interfere in their personal matter or insult his wife .
IMO Dev pathetically failed as a husband, and he does need a reality check to realize the importance of his wife. Unfortunately, he didn't learn her value, when she was with him, wholeheartedly doing the role of an ideal wife and Bahu, let us see whether separation will make him understand.
