What a beautiful way to sum it all up! I don't know whether it was sleep or reading your analysis on the episode after I woke up, but it has given me hope and I am able to see things more logically than emotionally. This is part of their characters.
Raavi accepted the hate and insult with smile and now it's time for Shiva to do the same. I just know that she has very innocent heart. She'll come around soon and see that Shiva is truly what she always believed him to be and even better. This phase too shall pass. And I like what Dhara said yesterday. Marriage is not just about Love and Respect. It's about trust too. And ironically, these initial MUs set stage for the foundation of their relationship which will be built on trust. Both respected the institution of marriage yesterday by choosing to stay in this marriage. And respect for each other will come along with trust.
Honestly, I am amazed at myself how I feel now vs last night. Think reading your analysis definitely helped me gain that new perspective. I know you have your own resolve, but do stop in from time to time and sprinkle us with your wonderful analysis and thoughts. Especially when we have emotion churning episodes like yesterday's.
P.s. Good to know you're doing well. Nope, PS is the only show for me. I started watching this for a distraction from life only to find myself so invested. Don't want to open up doors to other possibilities.
@Felicie, not sure why tagging isn't working.
