I agree with few of your points Meher. As u rightly pointed out - he is clouded in his thinking and this toxic Anand’s family is taking advantage of his vulnerable state. I don’t completely agree that Abhimanyu was never a family guy and suddenly he’s changed - as I’ve said before - he never ever saw love in his parents marriage or any marriage in his family to start with. There was never any warmth other than Manjiri and Neil for him. So he was never attached to any others because they never bothered about him and vice versa. It wasn’t out of his own will that he was aloof from family. The reason he understood Aksharas love for family before confession was - he was so happy to see Goenkas family which was so starkly different than Birlas. He saw love in Goenka family that he never saw in birlas. He warmed up to Manish and Mimi so well.
As I has said before - he’s very very wrong in not understanding what Akshara did for him. Totally wrong. As Reva said - the reason he’s angry is that he once again feels she kept his happiness above their togetherness. So with him pushing her away - all that’s left for him is family - and that’s dangerous because Anand’s family is toxic and he doesn’t know the extent of their toxicity at all.
I agree with u that Abhimanyu has to understand where he went wrong himself - no one else can do that for him. It has to come from within. That he should acknowledge and respect and show gratitude for what Akshara did for him. And he shouldn’t take rash decisions in anger and believe (specially Anand’s) family blindly.
Likewise Akshara also needs to understand on her own that she should confide in her husband whenever she’s in a problem so they both can solve problem together and not decide things herself.
