I’m a silent reader on this forum. I usually read through things, but rarely comment. I felt a strong urge to post about this, so here I am.
I feel Babita’s stance and anger is justified. I know a lot of people believe she’s being egotistical, but let’s put ourselves in her shoes. Hanuman did say some really bitter things to her. His intention was to protect, but, nevertheless, his words were harsh.
I know for a fact that I would’ve reacted the same way Babita did. She let a man walk all over her once. Shes not going to do that again. She’s got her walls up now, but she was willing to give Hanuman a chance, but then he said all these things to her, and she backed off. We’d all do the same thing.
After you’ve been with someone for a while and you’ve formed a level of faith and trust in each other, something like this would not have mattered so much. That’s not the case here. She doesn’t know what she means to him. She doesn’t know how he feels. Situations like this create a lot of uncertainty and trigger our insecurities. We’re all human. We’re not going to put ourselves out there to get hurt. To some extent, even Hanuman’s guilty of that. He doesn’t want to be the person to make the first move.
All in all, I don’t think what Babita is doing is unjustified. I would’ve done the same thing. She doesn’t know what we know. She doesn’t know why Hanuman said what he did. Plus, he’s been going on and on about how much he loves Imarti, and how Babita has to accept him with the love he has for her. Though, I understand that Imarti is an important part of his life, none of us would like/feel comfortable with our significant other saying all that. Of course, it’s understandable. But does it feel good? No. When you’re just falling for someone, you want them to put you first. You want them to care for you more than anyone else. You want to be the most important person in their life. You want to be treated different from everyone else. It’s natural. When Hanuman said what he said, he took that specialness away from Babita, which is why she’s doing what she’s doing. I would do the same thing.
What do you guys thinks? Love to hear from you all.
