I could see that Raghav himself was struggling to face his feelings after the mistake, so I can see why he didn't immediately tell Pallavi what happened He did tell her the truth without mincing any words and by taking full accountability. He's feeling the remorse and it's killing him. He hasn't slept a wink because the burden of guilt is too high. It was unfortunate she had airpods on and didn't hear a thing.
but if he loves her then I still expected him as a husband to let his wife know what happened, especially since he has told Keerthi telling K was just to take a load off his chest. He couldn't hold it in any longer because the burden was too much. May be he wanted someone to show him the path. So what if he told it to K. I share a very close bond with my sibling and I would definitely confide in my sibling such a thing in the hope he/she would guide me to the right path. Yes he's making a mistake by hiding the truth from Pallavi and that is going to bite him back in the a*s but I understand his reasons (don't condone them).
hiding it for lifetime was not the right solution, especially now that Esha is staying in the same house well that's how the human mind works. He felt that it would be a lighter cross to bear, hiding the truth and living a life of deceit than telling the truth and being liberated and live a life without his love. When he decided to hide the truth, he was under the impression that E will go away and the truth won't ever surface (again not condoning).
He has the woman who he slept with in the same house as him, and I agree that it was Pallavi who brought Esha in but even now he hasn't decided to tell Pallavi the truth
he is fine with Esha staying in the house and that doesn't settle right with me doesn't that serve him right to see his mistakes right in front of his eyes, just see how much more the guilt would be when you can't push it at the back of your mind. Also, I guess he will ask Farhad to search a place for her (I don't think he will have her eventually live there, it was a temp solution by Pallavi).
my only issue is that now he is being selfish, he just wants Pallavi and her love for him to stay but he didn't think about her value and stance as a WIFE
he's letting her be the naive, good hearted person she is, so much that she herself went and brought the girl he slept with and he still hasn't opened his mouth
Yes he's being selfish and he's wrong to hide things from her. He's allowing Esha to drive them apart by lying to Pallavi. He needs to give her the choice because this can't work long term. Rip the bandaid off once and for all. Why is everyone holding him out to be a sinless man? He's a human being and selfishness and lies is one of the most common sins a human being commits. His sentence should equate to the extent of his crimes.
but I think the bigger problem for me is that Raghav hasn't given Pallavi the trust and respect she deserves, after this issue I expected him to understand that she has the RIGHT to know, regardless of whether she will leave him or not
Yes ofcourse. She trusts him blindly and he has been lying to her. Unfortunately this went totally unaddressed in the Mandar track and the idealogy track. He needs to earn her trust once again. Isn't that a punishment big enough? He broke the trust of the person who trusted him when the world didn't. She trusted him even when she didn't love him.
this isn't the first time, he has lied to her many times before with the fear that she will misunderstand and leave him, and that isn't what marriage is about
Who said marriage is perfect? People in the marriage need to work and struggle to accept their flaws and want to improve to make their relationship work. Life isn't a bed of roses, there are more thorns on the paths actually.
I've noticed that in previous tracks so now I'm glad that they are at least highlighting this, although they had to take it to the extreme
Yes they did take it to the extreme but may be Raghav needed to learn a lesson the hard way. He's not going to be repeating his mistakes. If Pallavi has it in her to give him a chance, he will become the Raghav she deserves. The man strives, trust me, he does, he just needs to trust himself to do this once again.
