You know what, Im not even feeling this Shivam/Riya business anymore either to be honest. I know...I know...a lot of people will boo me- but is it just me or do any other women in this forum find Shivam has turned into a weakling? I mean mentally and emotionally- its like hes regressed to being a 12 year old. Its not sexy or attractive or appealing to the opposite sex whatsoever. Hes a cutie pie- but that's all hes got going for him, seriously you guys! Wth?! Would anyone honestly feel like they were being protected and looked after by him? He is just...man I don't even know where to start. His poor wife! What day is it now that they haven't consummated? Hes a guy- doesn't his man-bits work or something? I mean hes just kind of blathering along like nothing in the world is amiss. He plays mind games and word games with his new wife (yeah I know, she does too, but Im talking about this idiot for a change). He gets upset at the slightest things she says to him- like the other day she was saying something to him casually just before they were about to do the "deed" and instead of acting like a normal red blooded male and just ignoring it and looking forward to being with her, he made a big deal out of it. And then this thing with his mum? Hes more after his mum than he is after his wife... I mean he had all that time to do that before he got married and NOW decides to run around after his mum? Hes just...not masculine at all. Sorry to you Shivam-ophiles- my apologies! But he is annoying the hell out of me. Riya has practically cried tears of sadness in that house every day since she moved in- wouldn't a normal husband sort that out already? I know hes trying to juggle the whole thing between his mum and sisters and wife- but RIGHT NOW his priority should be his wife. Theyre at such a delicate stage in their relationship and marriage- I mean hes already established strong bonds and relations with his own family (obviously!) so surely he should be making her feel like a priority? He just keeps running after mummy and daddy and baby sisters all the time. How is this attractive? How is this the man taking charge? And I don't understand how his idiot mother can expect him to "all of a sudden" "manage the family" like his dad, as she put it? His dad is only able to have any say in anything because people listen to him. Shivam is supposed to manage the family- what? As if he has everyone's respect? No one in that family except his sisters gives a crap about what hes had to say so far- so how the hell can she expect him to manage the family? And how the hell can HE even expect it? Oh I want to be like daddy-dearest. You moron- make a decision already!! One minute hes getting in his dads face for shouting at his mum, the next hes standing infront of his dad like a simpering adolescent unable to utter a word in anyone's defence (rare RARE occasions maybe) the next minute hes telling riya he wants to be just like his dad. UGH decide already!! Honestly every single man in this show is an example to all men out there of how NOT to be. Don't even know how Riya can find anything attractive in this guy apart from his looks. Grab the reins man and grow up- eat a snickers bar or something for heavens sake.
