@bold Prema akka, that isn't what I meant at all. I simply wanted to show the possible reason why Raavi behaved the way she does these days, with indifference towards Shiva. In fact, in my personal opinion, this relationship is still redeemable.
I have zero relationship experience, yes. But I am a people watcher, and a pretty decent one at that. A close friend of mine recently went through a very similar situation recently. Her boyfriend pushed her away because he felt he didn't deserve her (played the just let go of me woman card too), things got pretty bitter, she gave up. He had always been the one more emotionally invested in their relationship, and he knew it all along as well. But, when he apologised for the way things turned out, when she got a hint that he'd done it all on purpose, she wanted to give themselves a second chance at things. They talked about it and things are going well so far, much better than the first time around in fact.
I understand where you're coming from with the divorce is probably for the best angle. And I really wouldn't presume to understand relationships as fragile as marriage better than you. But, this is ITV, with a show centred on family values, and I felt that this could be the next best course for the story.
I don't want Shiva's breakdown or NDE to be the reason for them falling in love either. I want a hint from his side, that Raavi sees (not the audience), so that she knows that there is something to fight for. So she tries to understand him better, thereby falling in love with him.
PS I meant no offence to anyone with either this, or the original post.
