I liked yesterday's Ratan. I was disappointed the past few days with his behaviour. However, I came to a realisation. In most serials, the male lead is abusive/evil and then reforms or is a perfect husband. Ratan doesn't really belong to either category. He was insensitive over the past few days and acted really immaturely. But he has realised his mistakes and is willing to learn from them and grow up.
Ratan can't be Yash. Yash has grown up in an atmosphere of suspicion and deceit. Ratan has always been sheltered his entire life, with no parents to guide him. That doesn't justify his behaviour over the past few days, but it demonstrates that no partner can be perfect.
Though some serials show perfect male or female leads, in real life, no partner (male or female) can be perfect. Thus, marriage does involve both partners making mistakes. But the important thing is to grow from them. Constantly learning how to make the partnership of marriage work and compromising. Learning to apologise and to forgive. That's the essence of marriage. There is no perfect husband or wife.
