Unlike most of the fandom, while most days I want to hit Omkaraji with Anika's sandals lol, I dont blame him per se for how he dislikes being married. But at the same time, there were other ways to save Gauri and he needs to face up to facts that Gauri has always helped him (unorthodox and lets face it, unscrupulous ways aside) and he is just as much to blame.
In thinking about it, SSO Shivaay needs someone like Anika to go toe to toe with him, Rudra needs someone to be the calm Velma to his crazy Shaggy but with Om, considering his father's unfaithfulness and the marriage tumult his parents have, maybe he needs that devotion and steadfastness of Gauri.
Back to the story, yes Om is sorry she lost the baby, his baby - he has that much compassion and empathy but not because he loves her and this was "their" baby. Its probably why Gauri could not grieve with Om. I 100% agree with you, girls need to save themselves and sometimes the prince, his horse and side kick too lol. People treat you the way you allow them too - Gauri walking away saved the Bareilly Gauri from being destroyed and also showed the Oberois and her that enough is enough.
I am not sure where to from here Faye Di. I love to read but have little creativity lol. Perhaps... the story could jump a two or three years, Shivaay's PI looked for Ms GKS everywhere and found her back story in Bareilly (trite I know, sigh)? Gauri doesnt need to be rich or famous (too cliched) but maybe a village Businesswomen employing other women (upliftment? & finding purpose) supplying high quality fabrics and clothing (a nod to her Bareilly store owner days) - something artsy that would eventually have her cross paths with Om? I have no idea :(.
