Honestly I too feel that if abhi just sat down and talked to rhea about her mother like pragya did with prachi earlier on in the leap where pragya briefly told prachi why she and her father separated, told prachi that her father didn't want to let prachi go with pragya and that her father loved her more than pragya does, then even rhea may not harbor such negative feelings for her mother. Pragya at that time explained things well to prachi without telling prachi too much just enough so that prachi won't hate her father at least and won't think her father didn't love her. When pragya could do at least that much to sit down and talk to prachi about how her father didn't want to let pragya take her and he loved prachi, why can't abhi at least attempt to say the same to rhea? And the problem is whenever rhea says bad about her mother he only shouts at her and lets her walk away from him in anger then later appease her instead of then trying to explain to her about her mother and trying to say things that would make her not begrudge her mother as much.
Honestly though women tend to be naturally far more mature and smart emotionally to understand how to react and handle such situations, so abhi's mere appeasement of rhea rather than trying to find a way to make her understand to a certain extent is slightly typical of men, but like I said, only to a certain extent.
Abhi can still very well at least tell rhea that her mother loved her dearly and that when she left the house she wanted to take rhea with her but abhi wouldn't let her because he wouldn't be able to live without having none of his children with him after already losing a child.
Rhea instead is being shown to barely have a heart to heart with her father and instead kissing up to her evil bua or plotting against prachi. That's why rhea never even talks to abhi now as all her focus has now become not family but satisfying her ego, hence she knows that involves doing things abhi would never agree to, which is why she has grown emotionally distant to abhi that she doesn't really share anything with him because now she sees that only aliya is the person she can talk to as she knows aliya would agree to her as aliya is same as rhea in thinking.
It's unfortunate then that abhi believes rhea is like him.
