It is Dev's lack of clarity towards his relationship with his wife that makes me saddened. When he has to choose between his mom and his wife. He doesnt think about right or wrong he only sees the relationship and if it is his mother then even if she makes a mistake , the other person has to adjust and act as if nothing has happened.
Its not about who we support or which relationship we choose. Its always about standing up for people who are right and correcting family members who are wrong. And that is what Dev lacks. He cannot accept in front of others or even to himself that his mother is wrong. But if his wife does the same mistake he doesnt mind shouting at her or even disowning her. And this has been always the problem with Dev.
This is how I am seeing it too. He loves her a lot and cares a lot about her. But there is a condition. That condition is his mother. He cannot take a stand for her in front of his mother and he expects her to know this, understand this and accept this.
He is able to accept that she can make mistakes, but unable to confront her with them.
The other big problem is Dev and Ishwari are one unit, one team. Even before in S1, when he found out his mother had turned back Sona and baby Suhana, he was devastated. But always referred to this incident as 'humne uski maa ko ghar mein aane nahi diya'. 'Humne' is the effective word, even though he himself had no idea about it and wouldn't have done that ever. He recognized that Ishwari made a huge mistake, but can't point to it, 'tumne'. He automatically associates himself also with that mistake and refers to 'Humne'. Later, before the fake engagement with Nisha in the heart-to-heart with Ishwari, again he refers to 'humne use hara diya'. Once again, not able to dissociate himself from her.
Problem is when he is in a team with his mother, he can't stand with his wife. So when Sona points out his mother's mistakes, he also takes it as not just Ishwari's mistakes, but his own personal ones as well.
He needs to understand that in a marriage, he needs to be on the same team as his wife, be one unit with Sona. That is not happening. Sona wants them to be one unit, taking decisions together. But for that to happen, the previously tightly wound unit needs to dissociate. Neither Dev not Ishwari seem ready for that.
