Just finished seeing the latest episode, and I have some thoughts on Reet's husband Yuvraj's affair. I wanted to know what you guys think.
I am the kind of person who believes that cheating is wrong under all conditions (I can perhaps make some exceptions for extreme conditions of abuse). It's an extremely serious moral offence in my opinion, and I doubt if I could personally ever forgive a person who cheats.
So obviously, Yuvraj's affair is disturbing to me. But I don't have any problems about a TV show depicting an affair; if Yuvraj is shown to be a grey character, so be it. I find morally grey characters quite intriguing, as long as they are portrayed with nuance and depth.
But my problem with Yuvraj's affair is that it seems to me (till now) that the writers are almost justifying the affair. By showing the scenes where Reet breaks the flowerpot in anger and where Yuvraj complains about his life to his mistress in the car, the depiction almost seems like because Yuvraj's life is so 'miserable,' his affair almost seems justifiable. It's almost like a cause-and-effect chain, and I don't know how to feel about this. Yes, Reet may not be a good wife; she is ungrateful, nagging, and has her own set of insecurities that she needs to take care of but doesn't acknowledge. I understand that Yuvraj may feel a lot of pain in his life because of how his wife treats him. But that is no excuse for cheating, according to me. There are lots of ways in which he could try to fix his marital problems with more maturity. I have seen many deep-rooted problems among married couples, and if every partner just cheats in order to alleviate their pain, then imagine how many families would break apart.
I am curious to know what you guys think about this. Do you feel that there might be any justification on Yuvraj's side for pursuing this affair? Do you feel sympathy for Reet? What are your guys' opinions on cheating?
I am tagging only the people I can remember for now; but please feel free to share nevertheless!!
