Well, he told her at the train station that he'd make her/her happiness his first priority, right? He hasn't stopped trying since then. Right now though, he has two conflicting priorities that he can't choose between without some collateral damage. So he's going with what he thinks is the lesser of two evils.
I just think they aren't on the same page as a couple, which is understandable since they are still getting to know each other. The fact that she has to ask him if he doesn't care about her feelings already shows that she doesn't see the side of him that we see, the emotional suffering he's been through since he found out about Mandaar. When he said main har cheez bolta nahin it wasn't just about love or romance, it was also about how he views her and this relationship. He knows and understands her need to punish the culprit, which is why he offers himself up, otherwise he would have shut everything down and not let her punish anyone.
Raghav could have tried to explain his perspective and it's something he's going to learn the hard way, but I think he feels she doesn't understand him or isn't in the right headspace to understand. I think he's further ahead in the relationship spiritually, so none of what she's said or done so far is a surprise. He anticipated all this, which is why he had that breakdown outside the D-house. Why me? How am I going to handle all this? If he'd had to be ruthless about all this without caring for her feelings, he wouldn't be tormented. He never once claimed to be doing the morally right thing, rather he's focused on doing what he thinks is right for his family.
No, I am not bashing Pallavi or Raghav. They are both right in their own way. I'm just saying that as an audience we see a lot more of the 360 than they do, which is why their reactions aren't always 'as people would expect'. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing couldn't be truer than what we're seeing here.
I can't believe I'm saying this but short of Mandaar actually being alive, I'm not sure I see a way forward.
