like ok i know i'm kind of hypocritical to dislike this since i came up with a story with a similar premise and inflicted it on the forums last week. but i didn't feel good about my story idea either and i didn't want to see it on the show, so that is my defense, such as it is.
i wish she got angry sooner. i wish she answered back to his misunderstandings. how can he STILL be thinking she got married to him for greed? why can't they clear this ONE point?
i understand him being jealous but i just didn't enjoy the idea of him wanting to do those things "too"; those lines about if you said yes to your friend "why not to me too" - it sort of...cheapens the whole thing. i want to see him jealous and possessive, yes, but more in terms that emphasize...exclusivity?
like i don't understand what he wanted in that scene. they gave us so many things -"how could you want HIM instead of me," "i have rights on you," "you have responsibilities as a wife," "you're making me look bad," "why don't you love me," "what exactly did you do with him" -- i wish there was a simpler equation. he was jealous; he wanted to hear her say that she wanted him. he was angry; he wanted to make her understand that she was wrong. he was feeling overwhelmed with possessiveness; he wanted submission from her. he was provoked; he wanted to know exactly what she did. he was hurt; he wanted to hurt her in return, or he wanted evidence that he has a place in her heart. to get a mix of all of these things - i guess, yes, it's complicated and delicious. but it's also just confusing, and as min said, haphazard. i wonder if they threw this scene together on short notice???
and i really didn't like how he threw her around - once towards the night table and once at the door. yes, i understand, he's a very physical character. i understand, but that doesn't make me able to like it.
these are personal preferences. i'm not going to make an argument about character or story consistency. i probably do have thoughts about those? but i'm not feeling very clear about it.
baha. i have more thoughts but not words right now. i don't drink but probably my headspace right now is clouded similarly to how abhi's was clouded, but for me it's because of lack of sleep over the week 😆
Apologies Mina, phone battery went dead, just got back in front of laptop.
@bold: yes I felt the same emotions; to me when he said that, he likened her to a wanton woman/charlatan so to speak- in the dirtiest of terms, i want sex with you, he got in first but i want to see what made you leave me and go to him. In his mind, I think he feels he rejected her thus far and so she went to someone else so he's now thinking ok, let me go to her and see if she can reject me. And when she does, he says- you know girls would die to get so close to me and you...his ego was definitely hurt. In his drunken state, he feels like she couldn't wait to sleep with someone else irrespective of their marriage status, irrespective of his being a rockstar (like it would matter in matters of the heart) and he can't see how she got go to anyone else. Like I said before, she was his possession to do as he pleased, he just never cashed in his check of wanting to exert his husband rights. He was solidly rejected and I don't think he could in that state handle it.
Yes, it's a very complicated equation. He doesn't want her(yet or totally) but can;t bear anyone else having her. ALiyah stoked the fire, he's never said things like this before so either he went off what she said or he really stated what he felt. If he did state what he felt, then ok. What he wanted was her and he felt that she wasn't his physically and he was finding it hard on several levels- physically and emotionally. Ego stoked the entire confrontation. I don't think ALiyah was ever intending the scene that took place. This could have been worse, he could have forced himself on her.
He's always been physical with her and I do think this is because she isn't vocal, to me, it's like he literally needs to shake her to get anything out of her. Not that it makes it ok.
To me this scene was the culmination of what he has been secretly feeling on many levels- physically he wants her though he doesnt admit it.
emotionally he cares, doesn;t want to admit it
He's possessive, doesn;t want to admit it.
All these months of eyesex and she betrayed him and it hurt like hell and he doesn;t want to admit that either.
