Guys I know we are hurt but this is how I choose to look at Abir today...
First of all, we have to remember that he learnt something very painful about Kunal - just today. And his mom blatantly used this secret that she had been hiding for so long to blackmail him! She did not even give him time to digest or process it... Mahs were waiting at home and BB wanted him to decide now!
When Abir was thinking about Kunal and Mishti at the temple, he gets extremely emotional, he is thinking of both... And right then Kunal comes there and Abir is not able to hold back his feelings... he comes face to face with the new identity of his brother whom he loves so much and treats almost like his son! He becomes too vulnerable at that point overcoming with single-most feeling - to protect his Nanko!
Once he decides that, he has no other choice but to make Mishti believe that he is truly breaking their relationship! He knows that Mishti knows him too well... If he shows even a slightest doubt in his decision, Mishti will figure it out that he is doing this out of compulsion! So he takes charge of his emotions and puts this facade to break up with her... He has to make Mishti believe that he is truly over her and it is HIS decision to end their rishta!
We have invested so much time and energy and love into Mishti, Abir and MishBir... no matter how it would have ended, we would have been heartbroken! Seeing Mishti and Abir in pain for something that they nurtured with so much care and respect would have hurt us no matter who initiated it or under what circumstances!
And last thing to remember is this is a show. They have to have an element of drama.. the more painful the breakup, the more intense the next phase would be!
