I'm probably in the minority here, but I actually wish they have a serious, full month separation track. Today's episode was enough to tell me that they had a toxic relationship, and that Raavi is perhaps the most confusing character in this entire show. Saying she wants to move on, but not willing to address Shiva's baggage. She wants a perfect husband... and I don't think a one week separation will really make her realize that "perfect" is hard to achieve.
Meanwhile, Shiva's insecurities is causing his anger to become uncontrolled, he needs time by himself, he needs to distance himself from Raavi (and the issues that cause him to feel insecure) so he can introspect healthily. The tree scene where he is all by himself (which is upcoming) will be the first step, but he also needs some time at home where he can be Shiva and not Shiva, Raavi's husband.
Marriage was pushed on both of them when they least expected it. They didn't have the time to process. They didn't have the time to talk about their expectations. It reminds me of Alice's recent story where she says it is important to talk about preferences, wishes, expectations, and Shiva and Raavi have done none of that. They really need time to heal, because every time they were together, they refused to talk, open up, and understand each other. They need to understand that communication, respect, and trust are all important things in a relationship.
And maybe I am a little sadistic, but even if Raavi comes back home, I do wish Shiva and Raavi secretly proceed with a divorce track. Their blow up was intense, and as an audience we might wish for them to be together, but if I was either Shiva or Raavi's friend, I would say they need a marriage counselor, and if that doesn't work, a divorce where they can find the perfect spouse.
