Beautifully explained, Pamđ. You've broken down each phase of the argument very well.....yes, it was a mix of aspects from Adi's side....his knee-jerk reaction to the jealousy, trying to "solution" by packing Imlie off to Prakash, then trying to justify it to himself as well that he can never give Imlie anything, so it's better she be with someone who can.....and then yes, adding in his standard reminder more to HIMSELF than to her that they need to agree this relationship is illegal, it has no standing.
Yes, she humbled him the day of the SR argument as well but the big notable difference from then to now is that even back then, he ran away, he literally left the hut again stating he's ok with dyingđ....but he can't stay there with her....but this time IMLIE walked awayđ.
It's not the first time that Imlie has countered his arguments.....but he's usually found ways to walk away from the conversation or compartmentalize it.....this was the first time he couldn't do it to that extent and yes, as you put it correctly, she took the wind out of his sails big time.
@bold: WORD. That is it in a nutshell....Imlie named it his sharam but the sharam was coming from fear which as you said, was a defense mechanism to defend his own values.....and Imlie cut to the heart of it.....he looked dazed after hearing her put it in such stark terms. I don't think anyone has handled him quite like that before and he didn't know what to say in response to someone cutting to the core of his fear and the deflections he uses like this.
These big arguments they have are actually a form of communication that Adi-Malini could never develop because again, to Adi, where there is "bharosa", supposedly you never disagree and never argueđ.....this fundamental misunderstanding of emotions and relationships is the reason Adi is in this current mess.
These arguments build on the understanding between Adi-Imlie cuz no matter what the catalyst, what the reason for the argument, the disagreement, it ends up helping either one or both of them understand each other's mindset and what's going on in it.
In some ways, I wish this argument hadn't become public fodder.....lol cuz then it gave Adi the convenient excuse to do a big public declaration again about how she's his wife and he will always be with her.....it sort of then skipped over the fallout of this argument....and there was again a sense of whiplash that two minutes before he had said yet again this relationship is "illegal", now he's saying she's his wife, he's with her willingly, she's his need etc. etc......so it just rendered all his big words moot yet againđ
