The complaint that 'Raghav doesn't love Pallavi' is quite dumb IMO. Of course he does. And he said he'd prioritize her, and he is. Are his methods wrong? Yes. But that's how people learn na? He's lived a certain way, he can't change overnight.
That said, I do think Raghav needs to work on expressing his feelings better. 'Main sab kuch nahi bolta' can't be a permanent excuse to not communicate. He doesn't have to keep saying 'I love you'- that would feel silly. As a viewer with ample insight into his headspace, we know exactly how much he values, loves, appreciates and cares for Pallavi. But he's not really letting her know that. She too, deserves to feel loved- she is perceptive, so she knows why he's doing what he's doing, she won't hold it against him, ever. But his words and actions, combined with SunKi's taunts, must be stinging somewhere- she's only human, after all.
He's the one who'll have to make her feel secure in that regard. She knows he cares, but she doesn't have much insight into the depth of his feelings, because his guilt spiral has caused him to close off. But ultimately, all the respect and love and care is meaningless if he can't make her feel it, and that expressiveness, I think as we all said, will come when he gets that major jolt that pulls him out of his downward spiral.
The situation is so much more nuanced than who loves the other more, who cares more, etc. I guess some of the nuance has been getting lost in recent discussions.
