Aaargh... I made a mess of the first sentence when I wrote my post... let me try again. When I said "Not sure others see this side of him at all." I meant that outsiders don't see that he lets mother-daughter get away with so much, by that I meant mohalle waale, etc. Not NB and Lala because they both have a pretty good idea of what goes on in the trio. He needs to establish those limits, and with Minnie things are much better. Not so with Babita. It will take time.
Oh for sure, Babita has to make amends too. When they were showing those flashbacks, she acknowledged her wrongs as well. I'll be even happier if they both apologize for the things they've done/said.
Your comment reminded me of this gif:
In some situations, communicating without words works effectively but in others, it fails horrendously.
Yes, it needs to be supplemented with verbal communication. Whether or not Babita knows why he was so harsh with her, he needs to come forward and explain himself.
In any relationship, whenever there is a fight, somebody needs to let go and try to extend the olive branch. Prickling issues need to be addressed in a calm manner so that they can get to the root of the problem. As you mentioned, Minnie has more than tried and made up for her misbehavior. She has now gotten to the point where the relationship she has established with HS is of a parent-child. I think it's a bit easier for a relationship like this to be created as the foundation for it was always being created in increments. But Hanita's rishta, while a slow burn, is between that of a man & woman's. It's just different and involves a lot of complexities that a father/daughter's necessarily doesn't.
Yes, and this is what HS has been saying trying to explain, that the relationship between a man and a woman is very complicated. He is also aware that he is rough around the edges and sometimes does indeed miss the finer points. Something he needs to work on, because Babita is not like Imarti. He cannot apply the same policies with her.
I agree. And if he doesn't, I will be even more pissed because what the fudge? First he tells Babes to stay within her limits and not take too much interest in a "paraya mard" and then he goes ahead, interfering in her life and tries to mend her broken relationships? If Babes can be faulted for constantly being hot and cold, then HS should be faulted too.
I am giving him a chance to fix it this week and I hope he will do so very soon.
