I have a slightly different take on this... And I hope I'm not alienating anyone!
I totally agree that Raavi is a childlike character. She has a lot of growing up to do, and a lot of maturing to do. I agree. However, I don't think her anger towards Shiva is totally unjustified, nor do I think that it doesn't make sense that she isn't angry at Dev.
Shiva has not given Raavi a single reason to trust him, in my opinion. From childhood, he has done nothing but spew undeserved anger at her for being related to Prafulla, and while I'm not saying that Raavi is a complete bechari, I can't deny that Shiva has not been fair to her either. And the family that tells Raavi that Shiva isn't like that, is the same family that consciously lied to Raavi and brought her all the way to the mandap just to humiliate her in front of everyone. I can't help but think that if I were Raavi in that situation, I would have MAJOR trust issues with everyone in that family. The Pandyas have to realize that after everything, Raavi will not be willing to hand out her trust just like that. And Shiva has to realize that as well, and get over his complex of not thinking that he is answerable to her. Because he is. He married her, for goodness' sake.
To Raavi, Dev is irrelevant. He became irrelevant to her the day he discarded her after years of so-called "friendship". Her full focus of her anger is on Shiva, whom she still thinks married her to exact revenge on her (for whatever insane reason she thinks that). Had Shiva never said yes to marrying her, she never would've been put in the situation of having to marry him.
I just think that ITV has a habit of giving the endless benefit of doubt to male leads that spew anger and hate towards the female leads, saying that the FL will "fix" the ML and his trust issues and that the ML "just needs time", but the second the FL does something similar, she is rebuked for not being sensitive enough, for not being mature enough, for not being understanding enough. And I don't really appreciate that double standard.
