But it feels like it's become so natural for her to expect that and that's where things go sour in a relationship. She expects him to call her and fix it bc that's what he's done in the past. Yet, she can't expect that here because in this situation, she is more wrong than he is. And that's what she doesn't see. And if she was more in the wrong, she should be the one who is more eager to fix it.
@Red: 100% agree too. Onus is on her, and I agree she should realize these things on her own, but I'll take Aayi pushing her to realize this over anything at this point. I actually hope it is Amma that speaks to her with the haq of a mother in law. She has a right to point out how her bahu's actions are hurting her son. Just as she pointed out how her son's actions were hurting her bahu. Especially because she is the one that asked Pallavi to promise her she'd come. I want Amma to be like "You know, I'm disappointed. I understand you have your obligations here but Raghav really needed you today. You should have been by his side, not your ex husband's. I really tried to help, but you're not making it easy. You have a farz to Raghav too."
But alas, they'll show Amma as understanding & forgiving as always. I don't want her to shout at Pallavi but I want her to express her disappointment in a way only an elder could do.
