So, I thought we'd make a list of all the times he's insulted/belittled her, and all the offensive/misery inducing/time he couldn't be bothered to take action things he's done.
It helps me remember why (no matter how miserable he looks whilst gazing at the moon) this guy doesn't deserve ANY woman, or (for the optimists), why he has a long long looong way to go before the relationship can be salvaged.
- He married her in exchange for a loan. Like there aren't other banks.
- He pretended to care for her in front of Soumya, giving her false hope.
- He lets his bhabhi's talk down to her without intervening.
- He lets his Dadi call her "ay ladki" without intervening.
- He lets her be insulted by any family member that wants to.
- He yells at her for stupid things.
- He makes fun of her/puts her down over stupid things (i.e. eating street food... W*F?)
- He told her he didn't love her OR wanted to marry her by shouting it at her in front of dadi - and then came up with a pathetic reason to justify it (i.e. "better me than dadi")
- He insulted her in public because he thought she wanted a divorce - even though he's given her no indication that he wants to be anything other than house-mates.
- He started making an effort only after Rohan moved in, and he saw someone else take an interest.
I know there are those of you who ship Yuvani or still like him, and I respect that.
But just think... if he wasn't an attractive man, everyone would recognise his behaviour as abusive. He is both mentally and emotionally abusive towards his wife.
I volunteer for a charity called Homestart, and some of the women we've worked with have left partners/husbands for less and nearly all have had ridiculously low self esteem.
Both emotional and mental abuse are recognised as abuse and are covered by the UK's domestic violence laws.
I would really really REALLY love to see his character recognise his mistakes and make changes to become a better man. Or for Suhani to recognise that (and i'm saying this as a Rohani shipper) she doesn't need a man to make her whole. She should focus on her needs and get some new friends.
