Have you watched the scene recently. Abeer doesn't apologize-- he just said we both got carried away, lets avoid the divorce. And Meher replies, that when you've come here today-- you have no sorry, no guilt, no concern. Even after hearing that Abeer doesn't assure her that he is sorry, instead he chooses to emotionally blackmail her by getting drunk.
Frankly, why does Abeer have any right to be angry about alimony? That's her legal right. He told her twice the marriage can't last and left her for weeks because he was worried she was pregnant. Meher made it very clear that she said no to reconciling because Abeer treats her like a toy and when he gets bored of her he will fight and leave her again. I find it a little immature that he was angry with her taking alimony since that's a normal part of a divorce.
I think she should've told him. But I also see why she didn't. And putting myself in her spot, I don't know what I would do. Abeer left Meher because he thought she was pregnant and didn't contact her for weeks. Telling Abeer about a child-- means exposing the child to a bipolar Abeer-- who would come and go as he pleases hurting the child in the process. Look how he treats his career-- Nissar is handing it and I can go back whenever I want. He has no respect for how that affects anyone else.
I don't think Meher is about ego-- I think she is about fear. She had no problem begging Abeer to stay. She had no problem giving up her job for Abeer. But she cannot go back to a man who is unpredictable.
Abeer says he is willing to do anything she says, but now he is back to threatening her and making her life difficult. Why can't he just be polite and understanding? He needs to show her that he is not a threat. That he is a good person who wants to make her life easier and not just always force her to live by life on his terms.
